TERESA ASCENCAO

 

Maria (above) is a series of twelve animated lenticular photographs which humourously explore female sexual taboo within Catholic culture. These works were inspired by lenticular religious souvenir memorabilia and the artist's Portuguese Azorean heritage. Adding to the comedy in each piece is the method by which the animation is experienced - the viewer has to bob up and down, or bow in front of, each artwork to see the animation. Maria was produced with the generous support of the Toronto Arts Council and Ontario Arts Council.
