Jen Turner’s BURNED IN: Closing Reception
Thursday, January 22, 4-6 p.m. in ripple effect gallery, Room 723D

This fall the ripple effect gallery presents artist Jen Turner’s BURNED IN, a new installation that explores the theme of deep time and its existence within civilization and in the natural world. While working, Turner considers the phenomenology of evolution, interconnected-ness, and ideas of control vs. chaos. She applies the grid as a motif, sometimes carved in clay or woven with horsehair onto geometric forms.

Lastly, she uses Iive plants to mark time.

The main installation features a hand-tied horse hair grid applied to the entire space and three large clay sculptures. The show will also include four other works: three small sculptures and one large wall work.

Jen Turner lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has studied art at various institutions including the Glassell School of Art and Parsons/The New School. She received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas in Austin. She has designed exhibits for The Museum of the City of New York, The Women’s Museum in Dallas and The National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Her design work has been featured in The New York Times, wallpaper, and Dwell, among others.
