Photographer and artist Jenny Lewis’ current practice navigates and confronts challenging aspects of selfhood, subverting the more traditional genre of portraiture. The project ‘UnBecoming’ involves confronting the self at midlife while dissolving the edges and moving into the unknown.  The work concerns disintegrating and untangling, drawing attention to selfhood as being in an unfixed and fluid state. At its heart, there is a process of unveiling, stripping back to see what’s underneath and deep within, and how what is concealed can be betrayed on the surface of things, on the surface of bodies. Imbued with direct and indirect allusions to veils, containers, structures, and masks, Jenny’s objects and images suggest the inability of the self to be contained and fixed, a shadow desire and necessity to exceed, subvert and reject definition, constraint and fixity.  In Lewis’ work, we are offered encounters with the self and identity as abject and problematic – a celebration of the in-betweenness and liminality of life in constant states of becoming through unbecoming.
