Montana Torrey employs the landscape as a metaphorical tool to investigate binary oppositions between and within the public and domestic spheres. Her multi-disciplinary work, which includes temporary outdoor installations, photography, painting and sculpture, investigates sites of protection, comfort and paranoia. These investigations question political power and dissect propaganda's effects on the domestic sphere, often times inverting its structure. Torrey was an Artist-in-Residence at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2006; she has a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
