Hi - I’m Jen!
I'm an artist exploring the space where instant photography meets slow, intentional craft.
In a world dominated by digital imagery, I find comfort in the simplicity and tangible nature of Polaroid photography. My work in this medium reflects my fascination with the intersection of time and memory, where each image tells a story of its own through the imperfect yet mesmerizing lens of instant film.
Adding another layer to this, I incorporate embroidery into my Polaroid photographs. This fusion of textile art with photography introduces a tactile dimension that exceeds the visual, inviting viewers to engage with the image on multiple sensory levels. Through this process, I explore themes of intimacy, craftsmanship, and the interplay between traditional and contemporary forms of expression.
Through my works, I aim to invite viewers into a dialogue about perception, memory, and the beauty of fleeting moments. My goal is to evoke a sense of wonder and reflection, encouraging each person to find their own meaning in the images I create.
