Jane Hugentober's art meditates on time and the female body
Jane Hugentober, M.F.A. '14
The Los Angeles Times reviews Jane Hugenober's '14 (M.F.A., Art) solo exhibition at the Harmony Murphy Gallery, calling her work a combination of "delicacy and tenacity."
"Delicacy and tenacity come together in Jane Hugentober's art much like her identities as mother, daughter and maker fuse into a single self. Life and work are matters of process, craft, handwork.
In her first solo show since earning her master’s of fine arts from UCLA in 2014, Hugentober fills the Harmony Murphy Gallery with richly textural meditations on the female body. In the series "Monthlies," she presses her cocoa-buttered belly onto silk for each allotted span of studio time, neatly filling the rest of each panel with hand-stitched quilting representing continuous daily domestic activity. The windows of opportunity to work as an artist take the form of skin-like pouches that could just as easily stand for the maternal work of gestation."— Leah Ollman, June 30, 2016
