Artist Statement

Jensen's artistic practice comprises sculpture, drawing, and performance: each playing a role in questioning subjective relationships to physical and mental space, form and emptiness, and the often-imperceptible division between. The materials that she uses: their history, varied meanings, and symbolic potential are at the forefront of her practice. Collected over years from people or found in her immediate surroundings, these materials and objects are often incorporated into the physical works or influence the forms she makes and performs with.
