Jay Allen
Jay completed a Masters in Art history at the university of Auckland in 2014, and has worked as an artist and Photographer for the last decade. Jay’s work engages with concepts of connection, of loss and of change, and the inevitable passing of time on the natural world. It examines moments of transition and the tension at the edge of change. What is left behind and what adapts and blooms in the dark. With a love of subtle iconography, line and murky shadow, shifting shapes of small birds, bolted weeds and anatomical forms run through ambiguous narratives.
