Accumulations (2012), with their soft, absorbent bodies of fiberglass, batting and string, hang suspended in emptiness. Each fugitive mass pulls against and is supported by the frame’s edge, visually activated and immobilized by the photograph at once.

“Jennifer Brandon’s photographic images consist of ephemeral forms she’s created with materials associated with protection and comfort: cushions, batting, fabrics and threads that connect them. The work is grounded in the traditions of still-life; each photograph bares physicality rich in metaphor, unveiling a relationship with the body – wads, folds and tangles. She uses photography as the medium to hold these objects up for investigation.”
