Artwork

Much of her work touches upon exaggerations of the common person in a day and age where the entertainment industry is the center of many people's lives whose interdisciplinary work includes photography, film, and installation art, often explores self-worth and positions in society in an age when social media and the entertainment industry are at the center of culture. Her recent work "You Can Not Be Replaced" is a two channel video installation that shows all 82 current and former members of The Polyphonic Spree which asks the viewer to question the idea of individualism. The idea of individualism and identity are common themes throughout her work.[9][10] She organized the exhibition Smoke & Mirrors at The Torrance Art Museum with the artist Gioj De Marco in 2018. Thirteen artists were included in the exhibition exploring the line in between fact and fiction. Withstandley presented The Real Brian Wilson[11], a 2 channel HD projection with digital artifacts in the exhibitiion.[12][13]
