Jenny graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2009 and has since practiced as a freelance artist exhibiting nationally and internationally. Forming the basis for her often research based practice, she went on to gain a Masters of Science from Edinburgh University in Environment, Culture & Society.
Working primarily in photography and digital collage, her work undertakes explorations of a range of preoccupations, including the construction/deconstruction of the self, both online and off, the tensions in our relationships with the non-human world, and seeking often missed details of the every day. Her most recent solo exhibition ‘Nine‘ explores a journey through a self-created underworld, influenced by classic texts, and featuring works created through darkroom photography, textiles and sculpture.
Under her ‘Corvid Eyes‘ remit she has completed site-specific outdoor and indoor collaged ‘paste ups’ across Scotland. As a working moniker, ‘Corvid Eyes’, describes a ‘magpie’ method of working- collecting a miscellany of imagery from a variety of historical and contemporary sources, to be reassembled into new narratives of sorrow, joy, and the absurd.
As a creative practitioner she also offers a range of workshops, and has worked in partnership with organisations across Aberdeen city and shire, including Elev8 Arts, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeen Performing Arts, The Barn, The Fife Arms, and many more. She has active roles as a facilitator for Grampian Hospital Arts Trust’s ‘Artroom’ initiative, and currently supports Peacock Visual Arts in the delivery of their community printmaking programme.
