Jennifer's work explores pattern and perception from the complexity of fractals in nature to man-made textiles. Pattern exists all around us and beauty can be found in even the simplest of objects.
Jennifer's landscapes are a response to the patterns and textures found in nature. This work focuses on the Australian landscape, the outback and farmland mostly with an aerial perspective. Jennifer enjoys working with this view for landscapes as it highlights the commonality of patterns seen in nature and the reoccurring designs found at any scale, from the microscopic to the satellite.
In researching the aerial images she was struck by the difference in the same view taken at different times of year, in particular the interplay between water and desert. The Australian outback is a rich tapestry of changing colours and patterns. Some of these same arrangements are found at the macro or microscopic level in the plants, water and rocks. Tiny dots of vegetation, wild flowers and shrubs, come and go or alter in shade with the seasons. Regenerated by rivers and creeks running like threads through the landscape.
