Jackie Dives - Vancouver, BC
Jackie Dives explores themes of identity, grief, and mental health in her art practice, which is primarily lens-based. Her work is auto-ethnographical, using self-reflection to explore anecdotal and personal experience to connect this autobiographical story to wider cultural, political, and social meanings and understandings. Inspired by photographers Nan Goldin, Francesca Woodman, and Mary Ellen Mark, Dives' photographs are diaristic, vulnerable, and sometimes confrontational. Her work has been published internationally, including in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and TIME Magazine.
