Jennifer Leigh Harrison is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary artist and poet working across painting, installation, printmaking, textile, video, and performance. Her art explores the ways abstraction can hold meaning, inviting visceral encounters through the aesthetic.
Harrison approaches art as a form of embodied inquiry where gesture, repetition, material and scale become ways of thinking. Her practice moves between intuitive abstraction and works grounded in material histories, where she employs a methodology she describes as archival protest. Transforming archives into immersive experiences, her labor-intensive processes investigate the entanglement of psyche, history, and landscape, exploring the relationships between memory, material, and the living world.
