Jenny works intuitively and through controlled experimentation. Movement and the constantly evolving process is an evident theme in all of her work. She creates acid paintings on metal by controlling the oxidation process on brass and copper. Drawing inspiration from the world around us, her pieces are both dynamic and fluid, incorporating color, movement, and texture. Similar to a scientist, she is continuously experimenting with techniques to create different surfaces, colors, and layers within her work. The reactions created on the metals are organic by nature, often appearing as earth-like abstractions. As the artist, the unpredictability and potential sense of discovery through this process is incredibly exciting. The process is methodical and time consuming and draws together both a scientific and artistic approach. Each painting combines all of these aspects to create a cohesive, intricate visual flow that challenges the way we view and interpret two-dimensional art.
