Jenn Law is an artist, writer, and anthropologist whose multi-disciplinary practice is rooted in material storytelling, language ecologies, and time-based processes.

Law’s current field-site is the garden. “correspondence (this is how we survive)” is part of an ongoing series of letterpress printed poetic texts on the leaves and petals of wild and domestic plants. In the making of this project, dandelion leaves have been silkscreened, hand-cut, and re-assembled into unique compositions. This iterative and layered way of working experiments with evolving collaborative processes of making and communicating, fostering a kind of correspondence between human and botanical subjects.

Law holds a PhD in Anthropology from SOAS, University of London, UK, a BA in Anthropology from McGill University, Montreal, and a BFA from Queen’s University, Kingston, ON. Her work combines writing, printmaking, book arts, and site-specific interventions, and has been exhibited in Canada, the USA, Australia, Taiwan, Spain, and the UK. She is the co-founder and editor of the experimental publishing platform Arts + Letters Press and the journal art + reading.
