Jeanine Woollard

September-October 2009

About the Artist:

Through the constant transformation of assembled materials, literary and mythical characters emerge to become part of an ongoing menagerie of narratives. Romance, tragedy, pastiche and ridicule are all dish of the day in a practice that borrows from art history and soap operas alike. Often betraying preordained functionality, objects are placed in elaborate collages to embellish and inform another-worldliness, always attempting to reach an epic monumentalism however untenable that may seem. Jeanine Woollard, born 1978 in Kent, lives and works in London.
