thing to sit in quietly tight and small in the corner, 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.
Beginning with clay slabs, she pinches the forms using her hands, and as she observes, the process of pinching, “became my primary language over the years.” thing to sit in quietly tight and small in the corner is made of porcelain and charcoal glaze that appears to seep down towards the vessel’s base– much like mascara staining cheeks with tears.
