Time Is Running Out by Jenny Wu (virtual) Touchstone Foundation for the Arts Emerging Artist Fellow (2018-2021)

Jenny Wu’s current sculptural work process is derived from making oil on canvas paintings and discovering the many layers of oil paint beneath the surface. Those layers of oil paint embody linear time, repetitive process, and material characteristics. She exemplifies the layering by pouring latex paint one color at a time, letting each color dry, and repeating the process thirty to forty times. Jenny then cuts into the dried layers of paint, revealing the cross-section, and uses those dried paint to assemble sculptures on a flat surface. The cross-section juxtaposes order and chaos: the consistent order of paint from old to new, and the imperfection of subtle differences in thicknesses. Each piece follows a specific pattern, uniting the differences to present a systematic imagery.

Jenny Wu is Touchstone Gallery member artist and also Touchstone Foundation for the Arts www.tfawdc.org Emerging Artist Fellow (2018-2021).
