Migrational Echoes/Mercurial Futures explores constructs of memory, time, and loss in the face of our uncertain futures. Jenny Hynes employs layers of stitching and fabric into collage and monotype prints. The process of collecting and assembling fabric and bits and pieces of scraps from her studio reflects the process by which we recreate our past, present, and imagine our future out of the culmination of our experiences. The reuse of the different colors and shapes of materials builds up the color and texture within creating a pathway to spontaneous shifts of meaning in each of the final prints. These figurative narratives suggest a story while leaving space for viewers to interpret and emotionally engage with the works.
