JENNI
HECKENDORF
Education :
Jenni is a first year student in Dip. Visual
Arts majoring in photomedia at the Canberra School of Art.
This statement describes one of her pieces.
"Little Jenni(2) again uses the three source
pictures "Byron Surf", "Jenni 12 years" (arms) and "Dave
and Jen" (legs) with an extra image of myself sitting on a piece of
carpet when I was around 8 years old. Here I am wearing leg irons with is
my touch of technology, shaded my big Jenni. I have added an extra layer,
the foam from (3) Byron Surf. Arms (left) and legs (right) have ben blended
together my changing colour, again using variations.
Concept
I'm riding the wave in on my magic carpet looking
naivete at the my freedom of my legs moving as if they had been from my
past. My personal interpretation of freedom in water verses the restriction
technology has given me in leg irons. Water has played a very important
part in my life. When I was younger and allot more able water meant freedom,
fun and often new friendships. At the beginning of this semester I was reluctant
to express my true feelings by wasing to use symbols, icons, masks and filters.
Little Jenni(2) was just a tiny part of my images now she is in the foreground
of moving limbs in clear blue natural water.
