Work from her oeuvre
“Jennifer Mehigan’s work explores the boundaries between physical existence and mediated space created by technology. She references phenomenological aspects of online worlds in her human-sized paintings, which operate as enlarged touch screens. She plays with notions of sensory deprivation and visual hyper-stimulation in her paintings, videos, and installations. Specific gestures: brush strokes, licks, screen swipes combine to form a fluid visual language that deconstructs desire, touch, and reality.” – Hilary Schwartz
