Statement:
My work is a synthesis of the technological urban environment and the natural world. The palette and texture represent nature. The materials are those of technology and industrialization. Though I employ innovative materials, I use traditional weaving and knotting techniques. I fuse the past and present, the natural and the technological which comprise our world.
The medium I have chosen – narrow-gauge electrical wire – is ideally suited to the exploration of space, This material lends itself to the creation of delicate lattice work or heavier, nearly opaque surfaces. By enclosing objects within objects, and allowing space to filter throughout, I seek to focus on the ambiguities in the distinction between “inside” and “outside.”

September 18 through November 14, 2010
Combining ancient Japanese paper-carving, katagami, with traditional basketry and metalsmithing techniques, American artist Jennifer Falck Linssen creates three-dimensional sculptures that explore the beauty of line and the delicacy of nature. Transforming light and space by "drawing" with a knife, Linssen investigates patterns – both manmade and natural in order to “understand how pattern lends overall strength to an object such as the veining in plant leaves, the structure of a moth’s wing, or the crystal formation of snowflakes." Katagami are hand-carved paper stencils that were traditionally used to pattern and dye kimonos through katazome. Katazome is a Japanese printing and dyeing process where rice-paste resist is applied through the stencil onto lengths of fabric; when dyed, the color does not adhere to the areas with rice paste allowing the pattern to show through. |
