Her conceptual approach to photography explores the malleability of perception\u2014between document and fiction, interior and exterior, spectacle and existential void\u2014as a reconfiguration of the sublime. She deconstructs the impossibly pristine modernist white cube, and directs our attention to the nature of appearances, giving\u00a0visibility to the effect of its architecture upon our experience.\u00a0By closely examining the entropic evidence of change, her work considers the broader trajectories of time\u2014its ghostly shadows and forgotten histories \u2014 within the context of contemporary art\u2019s display and commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Greig\u2019s recent and upcoming exhibitions include Stephen Bulger Gallery (Toronto), CCS Center Galleries (Detroit), March (San Francisco), Konsthallen-Bohusl\u00e4ns Museum (Sweden), National Museum Wroclaw (Poland), and the Art Gallery of Windsor (Canada). Her photographs and videos are in the permanent collections of George Eastman Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Smith College Museum of Art. The recipient of multiple awards and grants, most recently her work was recognized with a Visual Artist Fellowship from The Kresge Foundation in 2015. Before earning her MFA from the University of Michigan in 1995 she received an MA in art history from the University of Iowa and BFA in printmaking from Washington University in St. Louis.
