Jen Mann "Q & A" Opening reception.
Who am I? Who are you? What does my life mean? Why am I alive? - these complex questions are explored in Jen Manns new series of works entitled Q&A; a collection of visual metaphors exploring identity, existence, relationships, life and death.
Each image is an exploration into existence, often expressed through a pun or play on words, in a visual narrative, that draws on popular culture as a from of communicating complex thoughts in an informal way. Mann looks deeply at identity and relationships, and how we understand others through understanding ourselves.
