Jennifer Poon, Sleep. Watercolor, gouache, on cut paper. Courtesy Claire Oliver Gallery.In A Temporary Space, Jenifer Poon's upcoming exhibition at Claire Oliver Gallery, she reflects on her recent experience with familial death and on our expectations of the people closest to us. The artist says, “We remember those who have passed on with a different stream of consciousness, we find our own meaning in what was reality; death sanitizes everything.”
For this installation, Poon has created her fragmented watercolored bodies in both two and three dimensions. Central to the exhibition are a life sized human form, created from bits of fabric that have been sewn, tied and quilted; and an altar piece holding clay amulets, each adorned with a small portrait and line of text. Both pieces speak to Poon's interest in the role of ritual in contemporary culture.
A Temporary Space is on view April 17 - May 15.
