A former student of Film Studies at MSVU, Humphrey brings remarkable urgency to the feminist issues in her work. Gorge included video and installation elements that implied the bodily presence of a monstrously large woman. This uncanny presence filled the space with conflicting suggestions of guilty excess and sensual pleasure, connected with eating and sexual repression.
