LEARNING TO WRITE AMERICAN  mixed media

Opening Reception: Friday, January 7, 2011 6-9pm

In "Learning to Write American" Jennifer Drinkwater explores the meanings associated with the language that we use and the implications of these meanings. The use of text is an essential aspect to her work, in that it links our use of language with our perceptions of images and forms.  Drinkwater appropriates visual and textual elements from all areas of visual culture in order to establish cross-cultural connections and renegotiate meanings. In other words, meaning occurs in the juxtapositions of objects.
