Dana Wyse
Dana Wyse (born August 9, 1965 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian writer and visual artist.
Life
Wyse received her BFA from the University of British Columbia in 1991. She lives and works in Vancouver.
Work
In 1996, Wyse began her best known artwork, a pill-themed installation called Jesus Had A Sister Productions. [1][2] It is a work-in-progress to which the artist adds new elements each year. The work dissects aspects of human relationships such as trust, love, communication, pleasure and power. Woman's utopic quest for perfection, achieved in instant time, is the underlying philosophy of Jesus Had A Sister Productions.[3] Wyse incorporates advertising images from the 1960s into her work to underline the absurdity of these images as well as woman's lust for shopping and mass consumption.[4]
