Drawing upon references to women in art history, Minimalism, Surrealism and voyeurism; this installation piece speaks to sexuality and consumer culture in a “feminized” space.

Elizabeth Barnes’ new exhibition Juice is opening November 28th, 2009 and will run until December 23rd.
Born and educated in the United States, Barnes currently lives in Vancouver. Her collections can be found throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
