Lacey McKinney explores how the body is shaped through social ordering, and implications of power structures. As an interdisciplinary visual artist, she pulls from collage, a medium that utilizes the subversion of imagery, photography, and painting, to shift meanings of embodiment and gender. Taking previously dismissed narratives and re-positioning them as foregrounded, she aims to bring her own experiences and complicated relationships within socially constructed hierarchies, where she does and does not benefit from the systems she is questioning.
