Artist Profile
Sherril Jennings
I blur the boundaries of traditional female roles and merge the stereotypical ideas of female and male work still showing a feminine aspect to my work.
I explore materials by using them in a different way, slashing and burning and giving old parts a new life.
I wanted to re-use, recycle, retell and remake the threads of our ancestors using cannibalised parts. These unwanted fragments have been pieced together, giving new life to items from the past.
The reinforcing steel frames, contain and support the textiles while the collage pieces represent layers and layers, story and story and a reading between the lines. The raw edges, seams and enamelled rust give a narrative of the other side.
In using crafted and manufactured objects, I highlight the similarities between men and women, rather than their differences.
