The Remnant series explores memory — places that feel instinctively familiar, as though visited before, and experiences that carry a sense of recognition without a clear origin. These works draw on the idea of genetic memory, suggesting that traces of lived experience are carried quietly across generations and embedded within us.

Working with raw linen, crushed minerals and paint, Jennifer Newman builds layered, tactile surfaces that evoke geological strata and eroded landscapes. The materials feel unearthed rather than applied, as though revealed through time, pressure, and excavation.

Remnant I & II invite close, contemplative looking. They sit in the space between the personal and the collective, the remembered and the imagined — quiet meditations on how memory, place, and inherited experience subtly shape perception and emotional response.
