Bridgette centers on the construction of identity through image, gesture, and surface. The figure is assembled through layered elements that suggest both presence and projection—where what is seen is shaped as much by expectation as by the figure itself.
Subtle fragmentation and repetition disrupt a singular reading, allowing the image to shift between familiarity and distance. The work holds a tension between individuality and archetype, suggesting how femininity is both performed and imposed.
As with much of Van Atta’s practice, the surface becomes a site of negotiation—where visibility, identity, and meaning are continuously constructed and redefined through layering and distortion.
