Jennifer Halvorson

Overview

Jennifer Halvorson’s sculptures explore the simple beauty of familiar household objects that she has cast, manipulated or collaged to evoke a range of emotions and nostalgia. Her glasswork transports and connects viewers both to their personal memories of family and childhood and to society's collective, sometimes blurred, remembrance of the past.

“I am interested in studying domestic symbols expressing the fragments of one’s remembered and forgotten past. Objects remind us of a past time, or a past person, or a past experience. They become symbols to us. Examining everyday objects within the home, I aim to alter or combine forms in ways to illustrate their emotional significance. I utilize found objects for inspiration, modeling, or collage within the final sculpture. Working with a range of materials within glass, metal, and fibers I aim to add a deeper history to my composed narratives." – Jennifer Halvorson
