Statement
Jennifer
Starkweather’s artwork has ranged from examining fingerprints
and animal prints, to shadows and air currents. She is interested
in collecting and examining marks that map movements, behaviors
and processes of a natural or human occurrence. Through translating
these marks, she preserves the memory of natural and ephemeral
occurrences, reminding us of what we overlook in our everyday
lives.
