IN AN EMAIL INTERVIEW, the Chicago-Based ARTIST TALKS ART and FASHION
JEUNE OTTE: Tell us about what you do.
JENNEFER: i like to think of myself as a helper or connector when possible.JO: What is your day-to-day like?
JENNEFER: facilitating the independence of my two teenagers, remembering to breathe. JO: Tell us about your sculpture.
JENNEFER: clay for me is a place to work it out. JO: What are you working on right now?
JENNEFER: new ideas around a body of work that contemplates vessels as bags and what they carry.JO: How do you stay inspired, current and innovative?
JENNEFER: try not to look at anything current or innovative. 
JO: How does fashion & clothing play a role in your life?
JENNEFER: as much as it does on the body, I like the color, texture and form of it off the body. it is a comfort. JO: What do you look for in clothing? How should it feel or make you feel?
JENNEFER: for me – it is a feeling. it also can be a reaction to a feeling and it can also make me feel very self-conscious. i have complexity around its ability to draw attention. JO: How did you feel in Jeune Otte pieces?
JENNEFER: in some very practical, in others elegant, in others very sexy which is not a literal look i wear often so it was fun to imagine that. Photos: LAURA LETINSKY
