Jenniferpodisdead's Valentine heART Work Opening

Join us tonight for our Valentine-centric art show opening, featuring work by Jenniferpodisdead. There will be a few interactive aspects to the evening, so come ready to participate!

"Before I was doing the art I'm doing now, I was creating art related to hearts and love, fucking with the idea of why hearts represent love. Some pieces were positive but most were more negative. Really it was just me working out all my relationship shit."

"I did a series of wheat pastings with one of my anatomical heart drawings and was planning to busting out with a few for fun for February, since i just found them, so this feels like a fun rehashing of old art and heart times. All these older paintings are more on the abstract side, with use of pen and ink, spray paint stencils, some lace, screen printing and acrylics. The repetitive heart image — almost like a doodle — represents how many times we try to find love with mostly the same disappointing result."

Jenniferpodisdead will be presenting a collection of “podentines“ as well, some nice and some not… We will have Valentines candy, bloody heart cookies, and the artist will lead everyone outdoors for some local wheatpasting. She has also created a very cool trophy for the person who shares the craziest dating or relationship story.
