Jennie Sweo

Cut, Crumpled, Remembered

Sept 12, 2025 – Jan 4, 2026

Working with ink and paper manipulation, Sweo’s works deal with portraiture.  On the surface, she presents a likeness of her subject, yet embedded in her renderings are the relationships between the subject and herself.  Her works serve as mementos, a means of self-expression of new and imagined forms of representation.

“Of Fog”

Sept 12, 2025 – Jan 25, 2026

“of fog” is a hanging installation of 2,000+ shaped and watermarked handmade paper sheets from indigo-dyed linen, cottons, and ribbon.  Haviland’s practice of repetition and pattern in multiples fills the space and surrounds the viewer.
