Photography as Invocation: Mysticism, Gender, and the Act of Self-Authorization
Olivia Johnston is a Canadian artist who explores the possibility of the sacred in contemporary life. Repurposing iconographies of Catholicism and the museum in her installations, she uses photographs as well as found objects to create narratives around chronic illness and trauma, centring the earth as a source of healing.
