Jenny is a ‘New Media’ artist who works within a fluid screen-based practice. Due to the diverse creative media she uses, much of her work defies categorisation. Jenny’s work takes iconic and everyday symbols of Australian life and places them into a context that questions the values they represent. With a laconic sense of humour, she picks away at the fabric of contemporary society, exposing contradictions, absurdities and denial. In the series Road Kill, Jenny poses challenging visual images of lament of animals in the lands of the Bundjalung Nation. The photographs focus on the impact of progress and devastation. Jenny’s work is held in numerous national and international collections including the University of Wollongong, NSW; ART Station in Kollmitzberg and Sammlung Essl (both in Austria); RMIT, Melbourne; and the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney.
