Patriarchy written in steel, glass and concrete

Patriarchy written in steel glass and concrete is a light installation exploring research in gendered space within architecture The title derides from ‘Matrix’s” Feminist Architecture collective member Jane Darke who claims “Our cities our patriarchy written in stone, brick, glass and concrete”.

Inspired by Tony Oursler's Installations Jenny created three ‘scenes’ to explore three different elements about her subject, Oursler discusses his sculptural projections as "scenes rather than images, creations that are not bound by frames". Women's experience of the city is framed by the men who have built them Jane Darke states "cities reflect the patriarchal capitalist societal expectations of what kind of activities take place when, where and by whom".

Exploiting this idea of the metaphysical frame unlike Oursler Jenny’s scenes are bound by frames, utilising the idea of 'the frame' to perpetuate the subject of feminist geography, projecting her scenes through the steel and reflective surfaces thus altering the projection and perception of the image. Each of her scenes is a conflation research into feminist geography, and a personal narrative of the past present and future of her experience as a female in gendered urban space.
