‘I play with materials creating layers of tension and balance like a dancer moving to music. By exploring the exterior landscape and translating it through the interior lens, I leave room for improvising and allow for twists and turns that lead to unexpected destinations in my work.’

Jenny Wilson is an award-winning musician and artist. Her background, growing up in New York City, included dance classes at the Alvin Ailey School as well as attending the High School of Art and Design and the theater at the Library at Lincoln Center.
