jen besemer - gorgeous hybrids and recombinant poetry
Statement
I work with words, actions and images to explore the fertile tensions between/within those media. The result of “misused” text, processes and products, my work comments on the entrenched systems of contemporary life and the unresolved contradictions they generate.
 
jen besemer artist photo 2011I begin each piece without preconceptions about the finished work, letting my materials inform my choices. I often use automatic or randomizing procedures that foster unexpected discoveries and create camouflaged or hybrid forms. Collaboration with other artists is also an important part of my work. Through the interaction between materials, ideas and processes, problems and themes emerge that address the complexity of human action in individual, institutional, social and ecological contexts.
 
This website offers an overview of my work, including a selection of visual/verbal pieces, links to published works, and a few surprises!  Information about upcoming events, new publications and other items of interest can be found under news and notes, along with my blog.
