Jen Heads - Submersion
Glass Series 1.0
283mm W x 303mm H
Mixed media on 3 layers of glass, framed in a satin white profile with spacers.
About the Artwork: In Submersion, the viewer is drawn into a cool, aqueous atmosphere that evokes the quiet weight and clarity of being underwater. Echoing the structure of Disassociation, this work features a central, symmetrical blue vinyl-cut Jen Head, anchored in stillness on the front layer of glass. Behind it, two transparent layers hold floating forms, some loose and organic, others sharp and controlled, rising gently through the composition.
The layered transparency creates visual and emotional depth, mirroring the sensation of descending beneath a surface of water, or the need to escape during moments of intense pressure. As if submerged in thought, the elements drift upward, like memories or emotions slowly releasing. The interplay of colour and form suggests both tension and surrender, where clarity is found in silence, and stillness becomes a balm for the overstimulated mind.
About the Artist: Jenna Ingram is a versatile artist who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Canterbury University in 2007. Her creative journey has spanned various mediums and styles, including portraiture, landscapes and cityscapes. However, over the past eight years, she has dedicated her practice exclusively to urban art through her signature character, Jen Heads. This nature-inspired "mask" has undergone numerous iterations, reflecting Ingram's lived and artistic evolution. In addition to her work as an artist, Ingram is also a picture framer and has been instrumental in managing her and her husband's business, Fiksate Gallery and Framing, further contributing to the urban contemporary art community.
