Self Portrait
Self Portrait
by Jenny Core
Year created: 2011
Medium: Drawing
Size (H x W x D): 29.7 x 21 x 0 cm
The work depicts the scene before the self portrait, creating a moment of anticipation as the viewer waits for the artist to arrive. My submission is an observational drawing of my studio chair, waiting to be used. This is an object that is present for all works I create. I have used my chair to represent me and my practice, as it shows the point of production through play. This is my self portrait.

Narrative, chance and play. These three ingredients contribute to the formation of Core's alternate reality/utopia. This utopia is created to give the audience a space dedicated to play. The space can be seen as a form of escapism; this is not the artists intention. It is a reminder of how to play, displaying an opportunity for the viewer. It introduces alternate ways of seeing the world.
"Jenny Core's drawings, suggestive as they are of an almost cloistered reverie. Core takes functional objects and imagines their dysfunctional use as props and animated protagonists in her own private dream world. Here the proper conventions of domesticity and the simple laws of physics no longer hold sway: an angle-poise lamp shoots out a beam of blackness; hairdryers pose in animated mid-performance; an office fan emits an ectoplasmic cloud. It's unashamed graphic escapism: in one past drawing a wooden enclosure is labelled with the slogan "Do Not Sit On The Fence – You Will Get A Sore Arse"."
-Robert Clarke, The Guardian (2011).
"Jenny Core's intricately beautiful works are made with materials such as ink and bubble solution or frozen ink water placed on heavy weight paper and consequently worked into with graphite after the paper has dried. The impermanence of the materials or objects exists only for a moment on the paper and can be seen as reminder of how to play exploring narrative and chance in humourous or sinister metaphysical parallel realities."
-Clarissa Corfe, Curator at Castlefield Gallery, Manchester (2012).
