Montage
These intricate works of art are the result of countless hours spent by the artist in and out of studio, capturing, refining, selecting and combining visual imagery through the use of digital media. Once an idea has been birthed within Jennifer's mind, she will stop at nothing to achieve the desired effect, whether that be through mixing different chemicals, paints and organic matter in studio for initial documentation, to wilderness forays, performance art or large-scale installations, such as her infamous nest in the year 2020. She has also been known to frequent many pools of water, both domestic and wild, in order to photograph the sunlight filtering through sheer cloth she sunk with weights or her own body floating within its depths. Underwater photography remains a passionate interest for this prolific creative force. Once she has amassed enough material, the artist then sits back and combines the imagery using her fingertips on a touch screen. In her words, "An artist must use every tool he or she can; we cannot build on the shoulders of those who have come before us if we refuse to embrace what is new."
Digital montage has proved to be the perfect tool for achieving stunning imagery that can be easily translated onto metal, wood or paper using a meticulous process entitled "giclee;" a french term meaning "to spray on." Archival quality ink is sprayed onto a given surface using an extremely accurate jet and is widely considered to be the most accurate fine art reproduction currently available. Baryta fine art paper is an optimal surface, as it preserves the original colors and gives the work a beautiful, pearl finish, as opposed to the glare on a traditional photographic print or the muted tones of a Bamboo print. These limited edition prints are a beautiful addition to any home, however for those art lovers looking to acquire a truly unique work of art for their home, our suggestion would be either a museum wrap or an aluminum di-bond metal print.
Limited edition museum wraps are sprayed directly onto high-quality canvas and stretched over wooden rods, with a UV-resistant finish to protect from sunlight fading over time. They are ready to hang, framed nicely within an elegant black, floating frame.
A third variant available is the di-bond metal print, in which the ink is sprayed directly onto a glossy, clear aluminum surface with state of the art equipment and can be mounted to any surface via the 3/4" deep inset frame. As there is no paper or canvas surface affixed to the surface, the UV-resistant inks will not fade, even if they are displayed out of doors. The lighter portions of the image are quite transparent on this surface, so the metal will be visible in select areas of the piece.
This piece can be purchased individually, but is best enjoyed and displayed as a series in its entirety, as the visual narrative is incomplete without each page of this elegant story. As such, there is a cost-effective offer available for those avid collectors who would like to purchase the entire series for their home. An elegant, informed statement, this series is sure to make an impression on any guest, young or old.
