Self-Portrait with Pink Fruit, 2008

I realized at some point that I've been doing self-portraits (or purposely choosing myself as my subject) ever since college.  I began in 2008 to do photo transferred images of my face, hands and feet and adding them to this long rectangle and adding all kinds of items that were meaningful to me.  I never seem to be able to throw anything away that seems to have any meaning to nostalgia for me so those items have sat waiting for these pieces.

About Me

My Photo
Jennifer Gould
I love fabric and, in my textile pieces, I work to glorify the essence of cloth. I've found that textile figures, or dolls as I call them, satisfy me the most in expressing the form of the human figure. As Federico Fellini said, "All art is autobiographical." Even though a lot of my current work is self-portraiture, what I create today I couldn't have done yesterday because of what I experienced between then and now. Every minute counts.
