Jennifer Lee Hallsey (°1983, Bangor, Maine) makes conceptual artworks, photos and installations. By studying sign processes, signification and communication, Hallsey presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, painting and architecture. Pompous writings and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with trivial objects. Categories are subtly reversed.
Her conceptual artworks are based on formal associations which open a unique poetic vein. Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. With the use of appropriated materials which are borrowed from a day-to-day context, she makes work that generates diverse meanings. Associations and meanings collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image.
She creates situations in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function. By applying specific combinations and certain manipulations, different functions and/or contexts are created. By choosing mainly formal solutions, she tries to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria, but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels, which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.
Her works question the conditions of appearance of an image in the context of contemporary visual culture in which images, representations and ideas normally function. Jennifer Lee Hallsey currently lives and works in Savannah, Georgia.
