Opening June 12, 6-8 PM // On display until June 26
Walnut Gallery presents “Flat Granny and Me: A Procession in My Mind” by artist Jenny Fine, beginning with an opening reception and performance on Tuesday, June 12th, from 6 to 8 PM. Fine’s work is a combination of photography, video, and performance art featuring her iconic “flat granny.” From the artist’s statement:
I photographed my grandmother for the last ten years of her life. Since her death, I continue to want to make work alongside her. Inspired by the “Flat Daddies” project – life-sized photos of military members that help families cope during deployments, I created “Flat Granny” as a stand-in for my deceased grandmother. “Flat Granny” is a cardboard cutout of my grandmother made from the images I took of her while she was alive. In recent attempts to reanimate her still image, I turned “Flat Granny” into a photographic costume.
