JENNIFER LIPKIN | LAND OF MOTHER PEARL

14.01.-02.02 2025 | OPENING JANUARY 14th AT 6-8PM, WELCOME!

ENG

“Land of Mother Pearl” explores the relationship between place and identity through questions of memory, mythology, and the longing to roots. Can places be carried in our DNA? Can we long for places we have never visited? How are these places reflected in space, in dreams, and in the process of searching for the self?

Drawing inspiration from her Karelian roots, Lipkin creates a sensory whole where she examines landscapes, objects, and architecture that are in constant transformation. Like a game of “broken telephone,” each layer of perception reshapes the understanding of the place she originates from. The works move in the borderlands between dream and reality – at times sharp and clear, at other times fragmented, where only colors and traces of the real remain.

(The works share a creative process that combines intuition and academic research. The aim is to spark conversations about a theme that touches us all -the essence of the place we come from.

This exhibition is the first part of the trilogy “Searching for Land of Mother Pearl.”The frames and installation structures have been created in collaboration with Carlo Raymann, and the project is supported by the Swedish Cultural Foundation and the Society of Swedish Ostrobothnians. )ABOUT

Jennifer Lipkin is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sculpture, space and visual art.

Place, identity, and color semiotics are common themes in her creative practice.
