Jennifer Merrell
Place of birth USACountry of residence United Kingdom
Merrell creates seductive dreamlike scenarios reminiscent of theatrical staging and fantastical still life compositions. In the past she used model trees, animals and buildings as visual references. Eventually, the restrictions imposed on by available props led her to create scenes based on beautiful postcards and tapestries and any other place where she could find fabulous, fairy-tale imagery. Characteristic of her work is a sense of entrapment and impending disaster underlying the veneer of fantasy and adventure.
She lives and works in London and studied at the City and Guilds of London Art School.
