Cecilia Dougherty

Lancaster, PA

Cecilia Dougherty's videotapes explore the nature of women's relationships to family life, society and the everyday, as well as feminist analysis of lesbian sexuality, psychologies, and relationships inside a culture that is, at best, indifferent and at worst, hostile. She often uses methodologies borrowed from documentary and biography to map contemporary realities over pop-historical icons creating work that deals with nostalgia, popular culture, and an extension of the idea of what is contemporary and what is behind us as a society.
