PUBLISHER’S EYE: Jennifer West
Gattopardo

by | Mar 13, 2024

In her multimedia installation at Gattopardo’s new location, Jennifer West combines images of outer space with those of spiderwebs, highlighting their organic and geometric patterns—drawing parallels between stars eons away and glistening dewdrops caught in a web, her circular aluminum wall works, broken in two parts, feature both sides of this comparison, appearing in vibrant purples, blues and greens. Her “quilts,” suspended from the ceiling and made from sewn-together strips of film, form large, shining webs from images of star clusters and various sourced footage while having the effect of stained glass. With television screens cutting through the floor of the gallery, a 10-channel video details more of her footage of space and webs, overlapping and abstracting her subjects.
