Description:

The artist inserted her image digitally into television and film scenes from Twilight (New Moon), True Blood, and Being Human. As the (replaced) ingénue hopeful of shared immortality, she is locked in endless staring contests with Edward, Bill, and Mitchell - the leading male vampires from these series who share brooding good looks, apparent youth, advanced vampire years, immortality's curse, abstinence from blood and in some cases sex, and an ability to pass as mortal. These are the new breed vampires of our dreams - insatiable, beautiful, charming, yet dangerous. Separate hungers unite them with their mortal prey. Time is suspended in the staring contests which no one wins and no one loses. In installation three larger than life projections play simultaneously, forcing the viewer to either shift their gaze between screens constantly in order to catch a blink; or to simply indulge in an infinite loop.
