Gina Osterloh’s photography, performance art, and sculptures address the pleasure and pain of looking and interrogating presumed notions of identity. She is enthralled by the possibilities of blankness initiating psychic panic. Symbolic themes such as the void, orifice, the grid, and skin, in addition to a heightened awareness of color and repetitive patterns appear throughout her artwork.
