In this episode of Studio Sessions I talk with SMFA faculty member and Brooklyn artist Jennifer Schmidt about her pattern inspired work that sometimes progresses into becoming the basis for performance and installation work. Listen to the interview on Big Red & Shiny by following the link below.
Listen to Studio Sessions: Jennifer Schmidt on Big Red & Shiny
About Jennifer:
Jennifer earned her BA in Studio Art and Art History from the University of Delaware in 1997, her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999, and is a full-time faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Many of Jennifer’s pieces involve using found patterns and imagery to create abstract, graphic images. These principles are often directly applied to performance, multi-media, and video work.
Listen as Jennifer explains how these pieces function in exploring broad topics such as identity, objectivity, inference, and the importance of context.
