Modern Hairwork: December 2009
http://jennkristen.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. This is a new piece that I am working on. I am using scraps of old linens as the base. The hair is dyed using Manic Panic :-). I am thinking of making a series of smaller, less complicated pieces that I can mount in antique frames and sell on Etsy. What do you think? Links to this post. Friday, December 18, 2009. Wow, it has almost been a year since I last posted! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). New York, NY, United States. View my complete profile.

Modern Hairwork: "Disasters of War", 2007-
http://jennkristen.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-work-2008.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2008. Disasters of War", 2007-. After a hiatus, (exploring sculpture in graduate school) I am finally working again in the medium that I love best: hair embroidery. I am in the process of rethinking the format that I used from the 1998 to 2005, however. The abstract, schematic works seem too cool and analytical for me now, and I want to find a more direct and personal way of processing the travesty that is the war in Iraq.

Who was also the best studio mate ever! In the Viewing Room: display/displace, curated by Kirsten Nelson. 16 January – 21 February 2009. Karl Nelson pr...

Modern Hairwork: New Piece for April
http://jennkristen.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-piece-for-april.html
Saturday, April 5, 2008. New Piece for April. This piece is based on a detail from Goya's etching entitled: "Y No Hai Remedio" or "And it Can't be Helped.". Enlarging the image and working on a smaller detail seems to provide a much more powerful image. I am working now on isolating individual figures and reorganizing them on the ground to create even more tension. Labels: Goyas Disasters of War. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Modern Hairwork: July 2008
http://jennkristen.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2008. Well, we moved to Fort Greene recently and I am just now turning my thoughts back to my artwork.our space is much smaller so I will have to work on the kitchen table. There is something great about that- except that I have to clean up after myself every time! I found out that some of my hair drawings will be in a group show next January. It is older work, but I think it will look wonderful with the work of the other artists in the show. Here is the link. Links to this post.

http://jennkristen.blogspot.com/2010/04/onward-and-upward.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. I am taking a new direction which has been brewing for some time now.
