Marsha Dunstan
Marsha Dunstan makes photographs with ambiguous narratives that draw on both constructed fictions and found situations. Her recent work has been concerned with the performative self-portrait.
Her series Interior is a response to the conventions and expectations around the way women inhabit domestic spaces. In this case, the space is a long-neglected flat in a 1960s public housing block in east London.
Interior was shot over a period of 18 months and reflects the artist’s attempts to position herself and her practice in a new environment and relationship. “The challenge for me now is to make work from a place of female experience without getting trapped in – and being defined by – a position of opposition.”
Marsha Dunstan gained her BA at Wimbledon College of Art in 2007 after a career in newspaper journalism. Her work has been shown in a number of group exhibitions in London. studio@marshadunstan.com
