Roland Barthes (The Wisdom of Art 1979)

Jenny Smith works in the mediums of drawing, painting, print, artists books and video. Her work explores the relationship between form, process and concept. She creates processes that reflect a particular place or moment in time. Described as "deceptively simple", this work is subtle, meditative and pared down, yet holds unexpected surprises when observed in close proximity.

Jenny currently lives and works in Edinburgh. She has won a numer of awards and has work work held in public and private collections nationally and internationally. As well as practicing as an artist Jenny lectures and delivers training courses for teachers and artists.

Jenny has recently been researching into ways that laser cutting can interpret hand drawn and painted marks within a print context. This led her not only to produce laser cut prints and drawings, but also to begin to use the laser cutter as both subject and object.untitled-lines, is a three minute video: an abstracted meditation on the repetative process of mechanical cutting.
