Based in Birmingham, Jennifer graduated in June 2008 with a BA (Hons) in Photographic Art and currently works in the city as a freelance photographer. She takes an interest in the derelict and abandoned spaces of our present society, which she refers to as the ‘contemporary ruin’. In her photographs the monumental and historical ruin is replaced with sites of neglect and decay: empty spaces that disband the picturesque monuments and substitute them with disintegrating places of sociological collapse. These are places where time is suspended, where the ruin has fallen from active time to allow past, present and future to converge in one. With their fragmented traces of times now past, we are invited to create our own narratives, the ruin acting as a dialogue between an incomplete reality and the imagination of the spectator.

Jennifer is also part of the organising committee for Birmingham Photospace, a group run by volunteers who wish to secure a dedicated photography gallery space in the city. More can be read about the group and it's goals at it's web address here.
