Description of Work

Jennifer Belair is a mixed media artist living and working in Detroit. She recently graduated with an MFA from Wayne State University. Her concentration is in print media. Her work focuses on the interior spaces of the mind and challenges our visual vocabulary of that which we cannot depict. 

In the exhibition Two Faces, the work examines the importance of communication in our personal relationships.  This work challenges perceptions of ourselves and those around us. This body of work is introspective and examines the multiple faces that exist. The figures are different versions of “the self” that live within all of us. The relationship to ourselves and those around us change greatly throughout our lifetime. We change both internally and externally but sometimes we do not realize this until time reveals it to us. In our fast paced reality it can be difficult to slow down and make observations.  Jennifer asks herself, “What is the real importance behind understanding my true self or the self that exists in the subconscious?”

 This exhibition is presented by NCRC Art as part of the Emerging Art Series.
