Artist Statement: Jenny Brown is visual artist living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, whose primary mediums are drawing, collage, and works on paper. Her work brings to life a mythical world of sea creatures and forests, realized through her love of paper ephemera. Her recent collage works focus on a dream of representing harmony among different elements of the natural world—flora, fauna, the sky, the sea. An abundance of florals in the work signify the hearts and souls of these fantastic creatures. Their branches and tentacles share their yearning to be connected to the most basic elements of life that created them—water, mineral, and the stars.
