Jennipur Jane

  • The Alchemy of Art Gallery and Boutique 1637 Eastern Ave Baltimore, MD, 21231 United States (map)

Jennipur Jane grew up in South Baltimore during the 90s, regularly spending her time in Fells Point with the local spooky kids, and haunted the goth club scene at night. By the time she turned 18, she hightailed it to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she started her photography studio, Ephemeral Studios. Due to an issue with her landlord, (he forgot to tell her the building was being condemned), she lost her studio, along with all of her equipment, overnight. Devastated, she took to the road and embarked on what became a 4 year adventure full of hitching rides and hopping trains all over the U.S. During that time she experienced the despair of post Katrina New Orleans, the wild mountains of Northern California and Oregon where she worked on marijuana farms, and the magical lakes, and forests of New England. After a while of traveling, she eventually found herself back in Baltimore, and slowly settled down into a comfortable and ordinary life.  Now living with her partner and their two dogs, she has found the encouragement to explore her passion for photography again. 

 

These two exhibits, “Ephemerally Yours”, and “Rituals”, explores the duality of human nature, and how we react to the stigmas that various cultures and societies place on us. Humanity expands from the light to the dark, both needing the other to create balance. “Ephemerally Yours” explores the light, sensual, whimsical, and vibrant side, while “Rituals” explores the darker infestations we experience in life.
