ARTIST STATEMENT

Portraits of family, self, and Dyke community are the source of endless exploration into how I became who I am and what continues to intrigue and mystify me about that path. Influenced by portrait and documentary photographers, painters, and collag artists, through the lens of cameras and the shaky lens of memories, I interpret my past, present, and becoming by clicking, cutting, combining and/or coloring images. Some are part of a project or series, others borrowed from a family photo album, and every one an opportunity to reflect on connections made and relationships configured
I want the viewer to look at my work and naturally begin to consider these questions for themselves – the how and why of self via siblings, elders, and community; the knocking and shaking of our memory trees, the complex rhythms we’re forever attempting to simplify.
ABOUT THE ARTIST

Juno Rosenhaus (b. 1962, United States) is a photo-artist working in portraiture and collage to explore themes of self-perception, feminist identities, family dynamics, and queer communities as informed by her experiences as a Dyke-identified social justic activist. An East Coast Dyke of West Coast experience, Juno is based on Lenape Nation land, colonially known as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

Juno’s work has been exhibited in Oakland, Asheville, Philadelphia, Portland, and New York. In 2024 Juno had her first solo exhibit in San Francisco of her series ” Won’t Be Pretty For You: Vulvas Queered”, a collaborative community project.

In 2020, Juno launched the Dyke+ ArtHaus, the physical manifestation of her art practice, centering Dyke-identified artists over 40. The D+AH hosts residencies exhibits, and community events. A curator of Dyke Artists’ work, Juno most recently co-curated, with Lola Flash, a 60-person group show in New York City featuring Dyke-identified artists over 40 years of age.
