Statement
The talent to spontaneously generate images with ones “minds eye” is often taken for granted. Yet imagination is a fundamental facility through which people break down and make sense of the world, in addition to being used within a learning process.
An individual member of an audience can achieve a diverse and creative construction of an image, even through the simplest of narratives. A narrative describing an existing place can gain an automatic yet restrictive bond using a familiar environment. A fictional narrative allows one’s mind to roam between unknown landscapes and well traced sceneries.
The creative thought behind Jennifer’s work derives from writing fictional narratives that are image based, not plot driven. As Ailsa Cox (2005 p. 34) says in Writing Short Stories “Imagery creates unity in a fragmented narrative”. Each of Jennifer’s stories are self contained environments none of which necessarily lead on from one another, and therefore being self contained they allow one another to be encountered individually or together without interference. Image based stories give you the opportunity to really improvise, reveling in language for its own sake. Allowing an audience to enjoy how delicious descriptive words can become.
