Jennifer Schlesinger

I love open sky, bright light and space. I draw deep breath in a beautiful sky, and find my way and my place in it.

Jennifer, who is the Gallery Director at Verve in Santa Fe and a talented artist in her own right, has images that give me that cleansing breath and peace. I couldn't wait to show you these. What do you think?

       






The ongoing Sky Series is the natural progression from my other two bodies of work, the Earth Series and the Moon Series. In the literal sense, my work is a documentation of the environment and its natural evolutions in the course of a moment (all of my work, from 2005-2008 involves long exposures, which creates a moving documentation in a still moment). In the more esoteric sense, my work is an abstract representation of time and place, that allows the viewer to create their own relationship to the image through a visceral experience. This series focuses on the horizon; sometimes well defined, and sometimes it is blurred between an ambiguous sense of place.
