Personal Statement: Through my visual art and music I seek to cultivate the connection between the symbolism of ephemeral female existence found throughout various cultures and its culminated translation in relation to our own.

Current Work
My work spans the fabled beginnings of existence through the sila na geiges of Celtic origin and the birth of all life from the matrix in the story of the Mexicas, through the visual interpretation of interdisciplinary technological and traditional elements of Fluxus.

The vaginal and photographic works I produce explore the subliminal tension of discovery, fear, and love in the realm of the Woman. The openings in the face of the pieces allow the viewer glimpses into intimate conversations, photographic moments of personal inspection, and short film explorations of both. Encompassing an array of forms and existence, the works will progressively vary from quiet 8x8-inch pieces to full room installations, while consistently embodying the cohesive form inherent in its original being.
Short Bio
Jen Saavedra originates from Tampa, FL, and has been flavored by life in Brooklyn, NY. She has produced works that have been exhibited internationally and has worked professionally in various media. Translating her view into the realm of music has been another palpable step.
