A week or so ago I wrote about my friend Jen Spencer-Stewart’s first exhibition, which is a joint effort with two other artists and titled “Soft.Medium.Hard”.
Well, today we packed the kids in the car and headed up to Lancefield via Woodend (after all, you have to eat…).
I will keep it short tonight, but I am not exaggerating to say that we were really gob-smacked at the body of work that Jen has displayed. The materials she has used, the techniques she has employed, the attention to detail she has exercised and the artistic vision she has represented are excellent:
Jen, you should be extremely proud of your efforts, and we know you will do well. You are now truly an artist.
Soft.Medium.Hard is on display at the MAD Gallery in Lancefield until 29th April. As they say in the classics – do yourself a favour.
What an amazing work ! I missed out her exhibition as I had to leave for my work in Shanghai but eventually I can see it over the internet. I love the colors. I love the patterns. I love the creation. I really ENJOY the work and CONGRATULATIONS to you Jen !
Cheers,

Wow! I so wish I was there, I love and am amazed by all your work, Jen, but the one that made me breathless with its beauty is the combinatin of your pregnant bust with the intricate floral design!!! Stunning!! xx
I think it’s good that I can’t find words because your work is beyond them.
It’s just a feeling, an intake of breath, amazement that you thought of these things and then made them,
wonderment at the designs and colours and textures.

Wow Jen, they are like paintings in 3-D, totally stunning. I covet them, want to see them in the flesh, want to grab hold of you and shake you and ask where you’ve been all these years, this is definitely a first of many shows, Jen the artist has emerged from her chrysalis… with works that conjure up the flowers and butterfly’s wings and gem stones… If an artist’s work offers a glimpse into their soul, you have a singularly beautiful one. Keep it up, woman. Much love, Gaye
