She attended CIT and the VCA and worked as a director, choreographer and teacher in Melbourne and Canberra.

​​

Drawing on her practice of movement and stillness, Jennifer is influenced by Buddhist philosophies of impermanence and non-self.  Her work explores consciousness in materiality, the body and in relationship.

 

"I see my work as performance art. Even if I am not performing, or if the work is 2D, I'm always aware of the performer’s body or physical presence in a medium, and a relationship in time and space with the audience. It’s important to me that art comes from the body, that it communicates through feeling and atmosphere.”
