Jaynie Crimmins
In Search of Beauty

2021

About the Item

The decorative surfaces of Crimmin's work contains thousands of tiny components. Each incorporates a fragment of information or imagery from mass marketing tools that are re-contextualized to represent personal, domestic and cultural narratives. By repurposing solicitations, security envelopes, and catalogs that are difficult to recycle (because their inks have high concentrations of heavy metals), Crimmins create sustainable objects using a repetitive practice mirroring domestic tasks. Shredding these promotional materials breaks down their physical and ascribed composition so she can roll, fold, sew and fabricate the shreds into intimate sculptural reliefs.
