Jingletown artist, Jill McLennan, will  be showing her work in a solo exhibition, Rising out of Ruins, at the Mercury 20 Gallery from March 26 to May 1, 2021.             
 
In Rising Out of Ruins, McLennan connects research into the discoveries of lost cultures with the act of discovery in her paintings. Ruins hold information about the scope of history and communicate knowledge left behind for us to discover. Is it our obligation to leave ruins undisturbed, as the offerings for ancestors or gods that they were intended to be? Or Is it our responsibility to unearth these treasures, document and preserve them in museums for all to see and learn about? This new body of work depicts the past discovered in the present and looks towards a future where human cultures connect and celebrate their diversity and creativity.          
     
McLennan will be present to talk to guests  and answer questions at the gallery on April 17, 24, and May 1, from 12-2:30 PM. She will also be available by appointment: jmclennanarts@gmail.com
