Jeanne Jaffe @jeannejaffe's 'Hybrid Garden of Forms' bronze sculptures greet visitors upon entry to 'In the Company of Women: At Large' at @lns_gallery. From the same series, some other of her sculptures are scattered throughout the gallery, all of them depicting hybrid forms that combine multiple familiar and unrecognizable forms. Jaffe says about her work: “Inspired by an interest in language, literature, psychology, and history, my work explores how identity is forged from early, pre-verbal experience through the later influences of language and culture. I give concrete form to intangible sensations and barely recalled bodily memories. I accomplished this by creating hybrid forms of mixed origins of experience - fusions of animate and inanimate worlds, simultaneously familiar yet strange.“ “Jeanne Jaffe (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a multi-disciplinary artist working in installation, sculpture, and stop motion animation. Her work explores how we construct identity, world, and value systems. Jaffe is a Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and was a visiting artist at the Xian Academy of Fine Arts in China for five years. Jaffe is the recipient of fellowship grants from the Gottlieb Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and the Mino Artist Residency in Japan, among others.” • Pic 1: @jeannejaffe pictured with her work at @lns_gallery • Pic 2: ‘Hybrid Garden of Forms’ (bronze) • Pic 3: ‘Hybrid 1’ • Pic 4: ‘Lung Hybrid’ • Pic 5: ‘Ear/Ladle’ ‘In the Company of Women: At Large’ will be on view through September 3, 2022. #jeannejaffe, #hybridgardenofforms, #sculpture, #bronzesculpture, #inthecompanyofwomenatlarge, #lnsgallery, #artinmiami, #womenartists, #miamiartists, #miamiartscene, #artseen365
