A Page from the Drawing Papers Archive
This page from Drawing Papers 47 features It Doesn’t Hurt Anymore, created by Jennie White in 2002.
The 2004 exhibition Talespinning presented the work of fourteen Viewing Program artists who explored allegories of the fantastical, the uncanny, and the mundane. Influenced by such diverse sources as literature, fairy tales, comics, newspapers, atlases, and hand-made signs, the artists produced works in which reality and fiction collide without resolution.
Jennie White explores the simplest forms of context in her work: a plain sheet of white paper, letter-size, inscribed with words, phrases, and designs, both floral and geometric. These inscriptions and designs are drawings formed by tiny holes pierced through the paper with needles.
The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. For more information on Drawing Papers 47 please click here.
