About the Artist
Jennifer McBrien, navigates the realm of embroidery with a skilled hand, intertwining freehand machine and hand stitching to create evocative portrayals of women, birds, and hybrid figures. Often featuring female bodies with bird heads, McBrien's compositions transcend traditional representations and delve into complex themes of femininity, liberation, and connection with nature. By incorporating the Toile pattern into her textile works, McBrien explores the historical and cultural associations of the fabric art tradition, while simultaneously reflecting its reemergence onto the broader art world scene. Her pieces resonate with a renewed appreciation for the power and significance of textiles in contemporary artistic discourse.
