ABOUT THE WORK
Munn is best known for her large-scale fragmented female portraits. Composed from multiple negatives, her artistic play on reality manipulates time and space, allowing the viewer to transcend the frame and undergo the multiple dimensions of appearance and experience of oneself.

As a photographer Munn is interested in the expressive possibilities of the medium. In her work she explores numerous analogue and darkroom techniques such as double and triple exposure, photogram�s, combination printing and clich� verre to alter her figures and create a single image which is both real and imagined. Munn�s collages are finished with beeswax and resins and are exhibited unframed and tangible.
