Gallery4Culture is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Seattle-based installation artist Jennifer Towner. Towner’s mixed media works are narratives that traverse her personal history and explore what it’s like to be an “almost” middle-aged, single (childless) woman in contemporary society. Memory, body image, relationship, and the reproductive time-clock are central themes in Towner’s art.

Her work demonstrates a bent toward obsessive production. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Towner’s unyielding introspection and penchant to produce are integral to her studio practice. Multiples play a significant role in her creative process and aesthetic. In the artist’s words, “I take objects and incidents from my personal history and transform them through obsessive ritual into installations and events for everyone to see. I tell stories of my obsession through my work.”
