The sun ceases to give without receiving

Jennifer Mathews


11 August 2022–03 September 2022

The sun ceases to give without receiving presents a series of sculptures comprising stainless steel, aluminium, imagery and light. This body of work posits depictions of nature and food as luminous interiors that coincide with the resolute exterior of steel. In this framework, familiar organic commodities are inserted into the spaces of a window pane, a deskfracturing the surfaces of architectural space. 

This exhibition is supported by Arts South Australia’s Arts and Culture Grants Program.

Through use of found objects, architectural motifs and materials, her work is concerned with the tension between the industrial built environment and the stylised depiction of nature. In 2016, Jennifer completed a BFA (first class Honours) at VCA. In 2015, she received a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the University of South Australia, and was the recipient of the Constance Gordon-Johnson Sculpture and Installation Prize.
