Ottawa artist Marcia Lea's everyday objects take on new appearances and reveal some of their hidden codings. her 2010 thesis exhibition, Sex, Bombs and the Cold War investigates the serious subjects of repressive gender roles, power and war, but it does so with what she hope are elements of humour, beauty and a touch of fetish. This body of work aims to remind us that we are the possessors of our own power and that we should construct our own roles.
