Jenny is a photography lecturer at Massey University, School of Fine Arts, Wellington. She is also a co-director of SHOW, an artist-run project space in central Wellington.
Jenny employs strategies of collecting, collating, editing and re-presenting existing bodies of imagery. She is interested in how found images are as much about their subject matter as the intentions of the original image maker (or what we imagine those intentions to be). She uses photographic and digital means to explore perceptions and expectations about reality. Jenny gained an Advanced Certificate in Photography, Carrington Polytechnic, 1993 and a Master of Fine Art Degree, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology 1999.

Glimmer

In my practice I re-use photographic, print and digital media. I re-present existing images to explore potential shifts in their meanings. I’m interested in how these found images are as much about their subject matter and the intentions of the original image maker as the new context in which they are placed.
Glimmer is an extended exploration of ideas concerning environmental anxiety. I am creating work to investigate the complex relationships we hold with our environment.
The work becomes (or always was) a mixture of the real and the imagined and is intended to encourage us to re-examine the ways in which we experience the world.
