Jennifer Anable is a visual artist originally from the Pacific Northwest.  She works with clay, plaster, and found materials and combines these abstract objects in often humorous ways. Her work explores notions of memory and emotions associated with domestic objects and space. Inspired by her everyday surroundings, she strives to create an alternative agenda for her objects, one that alters expectations and exposes a sense of the uncanny.

About Ornamental, she says "The sculptures may hold narrative meanings that we can see and understand but that are stretched and abstracted away from a direct referent. Often in my studio, choices of the hand and the head are pulled between emotions of humor and seriousness.  For me it's about making the real become strange or dysfunctional and turning things inside out through visual and spatial means. In so doing the work presents ideas of absurdity and uncertainty creating a mental as well as a physical encounter with the viewer."

Anable received her MFA from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in 2011. In that same year Anable was awarded the Post MFA Fellowship from The Ohio State University and has exhibited her work throughout Ohio and the Midwest. She is currently a studio artist in Bellingham, Washington.
