Work

Kidd typically combines photography, printmaking, collage, and digital manipulation to create surreal images that blur the line between illusion and reality.[3] She uses constructed sets and staged subjects to create large-scale photographic images that include multiple images and views.[4]

The subject matter of her art deals with art history and advertising both contemporary and historical. Resulting in a satirical commentary on current social issues. [5]
