thing to dismantle things in, 2023
Jennefer Hoffmann
Jennefer Hoffmann’s sculptural works are intimate, nuanced, and thought-provoking expressions of the artist’s personal interiority as well as shrewd demonstrations of her innate technical prowess. As “landscapes of memory”, the sculptures reflect the complex human desire to encapsulate a feeling into a tangible artifact – whether fleeting or one that lasts. thing to dismantle things in appears steeple-like, and sacral.
Composed of dark stoneware and glazes of cream and pale blue, this textured monumental sculpture is quite large in scale. Beginning with clay slabs, she pinches the forms into shape using her hands, and as she observes, the process of pinching, “became my primary language over the years.”
