About the artist:

Jenn Figg's sculptural installations and animations, inspired much by garden paraphernalia and contemporary "game-scapes", are situated between the digitized, flattened, saturated world of hyper-real and the permeating arrangements of sub/urban landscaping. She describes the "faux environment landscape" that she creates as holding "the unfamiliar, the uncanny and the wild, as contained playground."

Figg received her Masters of Art from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2007 and will receive her Ph.D. in Media, Art and Text from Virginia Commonwealth in 2010. She is currently a fellow at the McDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire and has recently completed a residency at Cleveland State Community College in Cleveland, TN.

Figg is currently exhibiting at the Arlington Arts Center until November 7, 2009.
