Release
Photo Research is a part of the artist’s first solo exhibition at YYZ Artists’ Outlet, Toronto, and titled Means of Measurement.
The press release for this exhibition reads as follows:
Means of Measurement is a sculptural and photographic installation concerned with the division and definition of bodies, exemplified by earth, human form and space. These works are inspired by historically conventional representations and a desire to vary these perceptions. The photographic work is a reference study which defines the various concerns involved in creating the sculptural pieces; it loosely connects various systems of division defined within the fields of design, fashion, art, architecture, nature and metaphysics. - Lee Dickson, 1987.
The other works in this exhibition were: Measuring Device, Mattered World and Unresolved.
