About Jenny Hersh
Jenny Hersh is an artist and educator currently based in New England.
Currently, she is expanding on the practice of cut paper and shadow puppetry that she grew up around while in a family shadow puppet troupe. She is exploring the idea of heritage as it relates to this familial history and also to the history of cut paper in Jewish folk art and political resistance.
She harnesses the delicate and uncompromising medium of cut paper to explore ecological fragility and resilience, futility and power, timekeeping rituals, and our relationship to homes, both in the world and within ourselves.
This practice overlaps with that of her intaglio and screen printing, which focuses on synchronicities, storytelling, decay and documentary.
