NINA GEE
Nina's current work (seen at right) features an exploration of family fictions. This work was inspired by the surrealist photojournalism of Lee Miller during WWII and an ongoing re-archiving project of old family photographs spanning four generations. This portfolio entitled, "Anton Dreams" chronicles primarily the marriage of her grandmother (Bertha Dusek [Balzer]) and grandfather (Anton Dusek), his early death of a devastating brain tumor, and his life as a father, self-taught pilot, inventor, and photographer.
