When Mauve Does the Tango is an exploration of Staged Photography. Works by Andrea Gardner and other artists from The Arts House Trust Collection show the artist (or other people) as characters inserted into the compositions. They are usually in the form of disguise using clothing, wigs, masks, cardboard, and paper shapes.
