Victoria Van Dyke

Victoria Van Dyke is a “Canadian lesbian feminist artist” who focuses on a variety of ideas including cannibalism, guns, religion, sexuality, and censorship.  In 2006 she started working with digital collages using vintage erotica, old postcards, and pornography.  The images are kaleidoscopic and self-repeating, and some of them incorporate text.  I like the way she's using these images and taking control of these women's bodies to make feminist statements.  She is reclaiming the female body in a visually interesting way.
