GLASS CEILING

  Copyright © Jill Greenberg  / All rights reserved  

Jill Greenberg was born in Montreal, Canada in 1967. At the age of 2, her family moved to Michigan where she began her arts education. Since the age of 10, she has staged photographs and created characters using the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, film and photography. She is known worldwide for her uniquely human animal portraits which intentionally anthropomorphize her subjects, as well as her infamous series, End Times which struck a nerve in its exploration of religious, political, and environmental themes exploiting the raw emotion of toddlers in distress.

Her recent Glass Ceiling series stems from a commercial shoot in which Greenberg was asked to photograph members of the U.S. Olympic Synchronized Swim Team swimming in high heels, an element that heightens sexuality while also hampering ability. "The result is a sadly relevant series of shots depicting women struggling to keep head above water in a context defined by the constraints pressed upon them by others" .
