Grief I - VII
Dibond metal prints are sprayed directly onto the clear-gloss aluminum metal 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 metal surface will be visible through the lighter areas of the images, creating a stunning play of texture and light within each individual piece.
75% of all proceeds from the sale of these Limited Edition Aluminum Prints will be donated to the Little Warriors charitable foundation, a beautiful service dedicated to helping children who suffer from sexual abuse heal and lead productive, fulfilling lives.
The Coffeetable book will include a series of twenty images selected by the artist, including excerpts from the Anger, Grief and Ambivalence series, as well as select performance captures. The book will be bound in a hardcover material and each image will be printed onto metallic gold fine art paper. 85% of all proceeds from the Black Book will be donated to the Reset Society of Calgary, formerly known as Servants Anonymous, a local charitable foundation that actively seeks to help women desiring to escape the sex trade.
"Humanity needs to reawaken to the divine, the spiritual, the heart of what compels us to act as we do. If we do not reclaim the lost art of grieving, listening to our bodies and embracing, rather than suppressing our feelings, then we risk death. Death of body, death of soul, death of spirit; for we cannot love if we cannot feel. Do not be afraid to plunge into the depths of what makes you who you are, for in doing so there is great freedom."
------Jennifer Peters
Jennifer's work as an artist is indelibly woven into the fabric of her story; a story that includes overcoming great loss. The seed of this grief was planted within a legacy of abuse, stretching back for generations within her family of origin. Documenting and sharing her healing journey helped the artist overcome the abuse she suffered, however this subsequent peace was once again shaken to the core following the unexpected death of her son Anthony in 2018. Jennifer found much hope in the stories of other courageous people, who were brave enough to risk transparency and share their stories through the written word. It is her hope that sharing a glimpse into her own journey will enable others to realize they are not alone.
