Jennie Meadows is a photographer and visual artist who challenges the limits of photography. Jennie does not view photography as a unitary medium, but as one that can be utilised to produce innovative artistic works. Jennie’s work also uniquely considers visual aesthetics and the realisation of the subconscious by revealing the unseen.

Jennie’s specialism is abstract imagery based on digital photographs taken of trees, wood, stone, water, plus man-made materials. These images are then printed on both traditional and non-traditional substrates (specifically metal, glass, and silk).

Jennie has a fascination with light, patterns, and colour, investigating how the substrate used reacts with the ambient light to change the colours within an image. Jennie’s work harks back to the initial forms of printing photographs such as Daguerreotypes, Tintypes and Ambrotypes.

Jennie’s artistic influences include Post-Impressionism, Surrealism and Art Nouveau. Artists, whose processes, concepts and techniques are echoed in her work, are Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Salvador Dali, and JMW Turner. Jennie’s photographic influences include Duane Michals, Bill Brandt, Jim Balog, Noel Myles, Horst P. Horst & Ernst Haas. Jennie is also influenced by the installation work of Lisa West, Brian Clarke, David Spriggs and Olafur Eliasson.

In addition to this photographic work, Jennie produces short films using time-lapse and hyper-lapse photographic techniques. Film-wise, Jennie is inspired by the Visual Music work of Oskar Fishchinger, Jordan Belson & Norman McLaren plus the experimental work of Steina and Woody Vasulka.

Jennie graduated with an MA Photography from the University of Brighton in 2022 having studied previously at Richmond Art School qualifying with an HNC in the subject. Jennie is also an Associate of The Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain (LRPS).

All work is bespoke and professionally printed to order or commission-based.
