Tenesh Webber's series of unique large-scale black-and-white photographs and photograms evidence an exploration into the layering of visual information. Through various manipulative techniques involving negative layering, solarization, drawing and collage. Webber incorporates imagery gleaned from mass culture to produce "fractured narratives" referencing social and political issues such as homelessness, AIDS and women's roles in society.

Born in Ontario, Webber now lives and works in New York City. She studied at the Emily Carr College of Art in Vancouver and at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto" she has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions in New York. This first solo exhibition will run from July 8th to August 14th at Mercer Union.
