As Jenny’s first solo exhibition at Old Northam Road, Surface Between was a site-specific hanging installation consisting of various handmade fused and slumped glass elements. For this new body of work, Jenny has been inspired by The Poetics of Space by French Philosopher Gaston Bachelard (1885 – 1962), in which he describes the window as a “transitional object” from interior to exterior, a place to communicate with the outside. The window becomes a border-line surface between the here and the beyond. Surface Between explores the poetics between the materiality of glass, and light and space within architecture.
At the launch event, audiences had opportunity to hear Jenny give a brief informal talk about her work. The Alfred Arms was also open serving a selection of drinks.
Surface Between was on display in the windows of the Hidden Wardrobe from Friday 13th January – Sunday 19th February 2023.
