Since then her work has explored themes of power, control, technology and sexuality often with a uniquely absurdist black humour. She has exhibited at major venues in Europe and North America and represented Canada at the 2003 Venice Biennale.In collaboration with the AHRB Research Centre for Studies of Surrealism and its Legacies.
