Hi - I’m Jen!

I am an analog photographer and embroidery artist - mixing the two to create one-of-a-kind works.

In my work, I explore the convergence of two seemingly disparate mediums—photography and embroidery—through the lens of Polaroid and Holga cameras. My photographic practice is rooted in the tactile and the ephemeral, capturing moments that are both fleeting and poignant. The distinctive characteristics of Polaroid and Holga cameras, with their unpredictable and nostalgic qualities, serve as a canvas for my artistic expression.

Adding embroidery to these prints transforms them into a hybrid art form that blurs the boundaries between photography and textile arts. This fusion of thread and image weaves a narrative that is both personal and universal, intertwining the softness of fabric with the starkness of photographic moments. Through this process, I aim to evoke a sense of intimacy and depth, inviting viewers to explore the delicate interplay between the visual and the tactile.

My work is a meditation on memory, perception, and the passage of time. By merging these traditional techniques with modern photographic practices, I seek to create a dialogue between past and present, permanence and impermanence. Each piece is a reflection on the beauty found in the ephemeral and the enduring, a testament to the power of art to capture and transform our understanding of the world around us.
