Mariais a series of twelve animated lenticular photographs which humourously
explore female sexual taboo within Catholic culture. These works were
inspired by lenticular religious souvenir memorabilia and the artist's
Portuguese Azorean heritage. Adding to the comedy in each piece is the
method by which the animation is experienced - the viewer has to bow in front of each artwork, almost religiously, to see the animation. Maria
was produced with the generous support of the Toronto Arts Council and
Ontario Arts Council.
