I HEAR AMERICA SINGING
Jennifer Borders

May 4 - May 27, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4 | 5 - 9 PM during Art Loop

Jennifer Borders mines historical protest poetry, the speeches of current protest movements, and her family’s past in this new mixed-media installation piece. The show includes drawings from a small selection of written manuscripts by writers, poets, and activists. Borders uses these written works and other elements in the show to meditate on America's emotional state of mind and our process of collectively creating it. The works of Walt Whitman, Maya Angelou, Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes, the student Emma Gonzalez, among others, are included. 

Jennifer Borders is a visual artist whose work is primarily sculpture/installation focused.  Her work has been featured at The Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, Delaware, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She holds an MFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA.  She is the recipient of an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Delaware Division of the Arts and an Individual Fellowship in Visual Arts from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Jennifer lives in the woods with her husband Walter, her dog Artie, and her cat Fou.
