Jenn Shifflet's work is an exploration into the inner experience of time, the perception of space, memory, and reflections of the natural world. Rhythmic, atmospheric, and organic in nature, her paintings rest in the pause between movement and stillness, where time may unfold slowly through subtle interplays of color and shifting light. While embodying a symbolic relationship to the natural world, her paintings intend to remain ambivalent in their reference to a particular time, place, or relationship to gravity, allowing them to encourage contemplative experiences of personal recollection and familiarity.
