The exhibition includes works from the series: Heroine, 1999; Felonious, 2000; Lure, 2001; Lucky, 2004-2005. 

Heroine explores the struggle of inhabiting an identity not represented in mainstream culture. Newdick examines how predominant, gendered stereotypes operate to marginalize those living outside normative modes of gender and sexuality. The work consists of three photographs that the artist made, printed as one colour print, pre-digital. On the right is a self-portrait, in the middle a pictograph from a men’s fashion magazine, and on the left a photograph of the cover of a collectable pulp fiction magazine. 

Felonious unsettles traditional notions that we know a person from their portrait. The gesture of the quickly shaking hands, combined with the cropping of the body at the hips and shoulders, leaves the viewer to question the subject's identity.

Lure consists of a series of glossy, colour-saturated photographs, each showing a fishing lure. Designed to entice fish and fishermen alike, the names assigned to each lure by the manufacturer highlight the investment we make in the object’s allure.

Lucky is an intimate documentation of the intensity between photographer and subject. Influenced by the visual language of fashion photography, Newdick’s subject of identity is replaced with beauty and seduction.
