Jennifer Mason

Suite Fine Art Gallery, Wellington

'Spatial Disruption' is a series photographic images with altered scenes of suburban rooms. From houses that have been discarded and sold off, removed from their original land and sent to yards with others in a similar situation. Very lived in, torn and tattered from use, the four walls often give way to expose underlying structure.

It is from here the images of the rooms are digitally altered to create a feeling of unease and disorientation. Often these alterations create illusions that give a sense that there are spaces where you know there couldn't be.
These alterations, unreal as they seem create an unsafe feeling to a space that is suppose to be inherently safe, a home.

If you were to step through or venture forth, what would lie beyond, and is it something that would want to see?

Jennifer Mason is an Auckland-born artist working in the medium of photography. She has studied photography in New York (2004); gained a BFA / BA from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland (2005); and has won numerous art awards for her work, which also features in prominent New Zealand collections.
She is best known for her images of suburban scenes that were open-ended narratives mostly featuring women. Her current work is still situated in suburban interiors but there are no figures. This work is more concerned with the formal qualities of interiors and she alters them digitally. The resulting images are paralleled thematically with the concepts of her earlier work.
