Identity Crisis is a photography exhibition by Helen McGhie, who
explores ideas surrounding identity and sense of place.

Much of her work appropriates existing visual documents in order to provoke the viewer’s understanding of codes within familiar imagery.

The exhibition is made up of three projects which individually
investigate the theme of identity: ‘Ego Entertainment’ (2012), a
project combining psychoanalytic ego construction and children’s
games, ‘Desserts’ (2011-12), exploring ideal female appearance through studio lit desserts, and ‘Ashley House’ (2008), an autobiographical investigation into the artist’s personal familial relationships.
