Aquaria
Series ©2001 Jenkins' photographic works from the Aquaria series are small-scale triptychs, memory-based reflections, which depict objects suspended underwater. Investigating the personal relationships attached to everyday objects such as clothing, furniture and toys, this aqueous void becomes a repository for the emotional resonance that discarded possessions carry in our psyche. |

Cradle
Series ©2004-06 Related to Jenkins’ video work, including The Audrey Samsara and Tug, the Cradle photographs are self-portraits of the artist and her family. |

| Fairytale
Series ©1990-94 Fairytales, with their intertwining states of illusion and reality, are an equivalent I use in speaking of these images. The visual mélange of objects and allusions throws a twist on such constants as sexual mores, humor, violence, desire, and transgression. The essence of a fairytale resides in the disintegration and re-invention of the boundaries of real and unreal, seen and imagined, and this alchemical essence is the very quality I seek to instill in my artwork. |
