Hullabaloo Art Space - 'Our Bodies Are Our Gardens' by Jen Olson
Location: Hullabaloo Art Space
Region: Cromwell
Dates: Sun, 17 September 2023 - Mon, 16 October 2023 @ 10am - 4pm Daily
Jen Olson is a figurative artist from Cromwell. She draws and paints our heartfelt and awkward exchanges, and the fragile connections that make us human.
Her latest exhibition “Our Bodies Are Our Gardens” is a reflection on fate, and whether we’re the gardener in charge. Are we slaves to our nature or to a higher power? Or are we independent and truly free to choose our path? How would we know?
“Virtue! A fig! ’Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills. “ - Othello (Act 1 Scene 3), Iago
Iago liked to sow the seeds of doubt and paranoia in others, manipulating weak-willed people who let their emotions control their choices.
Is fate just Iago, toying with us? Or perhaps we sow the seeds of our imperfect spirits, cultivating the truth of our own experience.
Join us for the opening at 4pm on the 17th Sept
