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
