Greig’s photographs imply that reality is perceived rather than fixed. “My work is about subversion—subverting conventional ways of representing and categorizing,” says Greig. “I’m interested in creating images that unite what appear to be opposites, to throw assumptions off-guard and thwart passive viewing.”
An MFA graduate of the University of Michigan’s School of Art and Design, Greig has exhibited her photographs across the country and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions of Greig’s Representations series include stints at San Francisco Camerawork and Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires. This summer, Greig’s work will be included in “Relative Closeness: Portraits of Family & Friends,” an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.
Greig will be exhibiting her photographs from the Representations series this month at Nicole Fiacco Gallery in Hudson, as part of a two-woman show, “Altered States,” with Israeli artist Michal Bachi. “Altered States” will be on view at Nicole Fiacco Gallery, 506 Warren Street, Hudson, June 9 through July 21. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, June 9, from 6 to 8pm.
