Jenny Walton - recent works
Artist Statement - Absense of StructureThe process of illness, injury, and healing of the human body are the catalysts for this current work. I work towards bringing momments of injury or specific events in a body’s history that are both beautiful and horrific into the work to create visual tensions. This work also deals with ideas of inside and outside, the privileged viewership of the medical profession, and the mystery that is left for the rest of us.

What is DCAC's Sparkplug?
Currently composed of eight DC area artists and curators, DCAC's SPARKPLUG meets regularly to discuss their work, explore common concerns, grow their community and dream up creative engagements both in DC and around the world. Through its support of Sparkplug, DC Arts Center provides meeting space, legal and technical resources and exhibition opportunities to emerging artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ. Via a continuing dialogue encompassing the theoretical and the practical, the group’s members share experiences, perspectives, preoccupations, challenges, and topics informing their ongoing artistic practice.
The goal of DCAC's SPARKPLUG is to identify superior artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ, provide an environment to help foster their development, provide legal, technical and other resources, and provide opportunities for them to exhibit both in DC and around the country.
DCAC's SPARKPLUG will actively seek its membership from all communities in the Washington, DC region with the goal of bringing together emerging artists and curators with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, a diversity of professional preoccupations and creative visions.

hey jenny, very effectively fleshy palette, and organic composition....i'm not reading the two columns in the foreground though. it might be the monitor...but were they an intentional part of the installation? if so, what's their purpose?
