This page from Drawing Papers 47 features "It Doesn’t Hurt Anymore", created by
#JennieWhite in 2002.
The 2004 exhibition Talespinning presented the work of fourteen
#ViewingProgram artists who explored allegories of the fantastical, the uncanny, and the mundane. Influenced by such diverse sources as literature, fairy tales, comics, newspapers, atlases, and hand-made signs, the artists produced works in which reality and fiction collide without resolution.
Jennie White explores the simplest forms of context in her work: a plain sheet of white paper, letter-size, inscribed with words, phrases, and designs, both floral and geometric. These inscriptions and designs are drawings formed by tiny holes pierced through the paper with needles.
The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
