Projection




Jenny West's work explores the relationship between architectural space and domestic objects through the process of drawing.  She constructs precise, light and linear, essentially ethereal works, using mathematical drawing systems such as perspective; by extracting information from objects through their measurement and applying methods of projection, to develop both two and three-dimensional spatial works.

States of uncertainty and indecision are countered/contradicted by the use of logical and exact methods of production; the work oscillates between clarity and doubt, fragility and strength, visually combining opposing conditions.  The drawings possess a delicacy and vulnerability, offset by their implied architectural scale.
