Such a tiny world This synconium
A place of speciation, phylogenies and mutualism
An inflorescence
(No, no light exists)
Of multiple Flowers and Seeds
Shine on In bliss
And grow together into a single mass
A fig.
April 3 - April 24, 2009
Raleigh, NC – M. Street Gallery will present its final exhibition of drawings by artist Jenny Eggleston from April 3 – April 24, 2009. There will be an exhibition reception on First Friday, April 3, from 6 – 9 p.m.
Jenny Eggleston is a Raleigh, NC – based artist, poet, and art teacher. Classically trained as a nature illustrator, she now uses images found in nature to create beautiful surrealistic figurative mindscapes that are emotive, sensual, and at times disturbing. Eggleston interweaves art with poetry, moving smoothly from one creative expression to another to help the viewer both see and feel her intent.
Surrealists such as Eggleston, tap into their subconscious minds, which they believe to be the source of all imagination and creativity. Concerned with the rapid recording of their unconscious and freely associated thoughts, the putting of pencil, pen, and crayon to paper is incredibly appealing and produces a prodigious output of drawings.
“I try not to plan a drawing, only to respond to a basic mood, to explore. I quiet my mind and let the pencil rest andwatch what starts to emerge” ~Jenny Eggleston
