<<				Dayna McLeod
				about. intermedia. video. industry.
	about. > > My art practice draws from a school of disciplines that have shaped my production process. Spoken word, cabaret and art-house performance, durational and in-situ performance, experimental video, comedy, single channel and multi-channel video, costuming, fibre-arts, craft, sculpture, painting, installation, theatre, graphic design, animation, collage, interactivity, non-linear narrative, effects editing and motion graphics have all featured as processes in my art practice, and continue to influence my research, critical analysis, writing and production. Currently, my primary interests of artistic and theoretical research are in sexual identity construction, girl culture, anti-feminist backlash, femininity, homophobia, and media representations of sexuality, queer identity, and everything female.
