Jennifer Mao is an artist and tinkerer based in Queens, NY.  Her practice spans across weaving, natural dyeing, embroidery, and printmaking, with a focus on handmade processes.

Jennifer’s work explores the intersection of physical material and symbolic meaning within our everyday lives. She is interested in the open-ended possibilities of textiles, words, and images to serve as carriers of meaning, memory, and culture. 

Incorporating language and photographs invites viewers to consider how we make connections between the objects we interact with and our lived experiences. In doing so, we can reflect on how the stories we tell ourselves illuminate our understanding of the world, our place within it, and the interconnected web of relationships that bind us together.
