 JenMarie |
 New Paintings Fall 2007 |
JenMarie comments "The innermost part of my practice as a painter is an ongoing fascination with decay and erosion in the environment which evolve around the intricacies of color, fragile structural elements, and the delicate process of gradual deterioration. This immersion with destruction has instigated a sustained engagement with the process of painting. I have come to know my immersion for the melancholic thrives on my attachment to past experiences which evoke a feeling of sadness. " |
