Jennifer Chambers's piece "Chain" focuses on the concept of the mundane, average activities that animals around us engage in, but then elevates these activities to the spritual. She accomplishes this by utilizing color and basic symbolism to characterize the animals, as opposed to true to life imagery. The silence of the piece allows for viewers to meditate upon the actions taking place before them, and focus upon their own reactions to the movement and color, creating, in essence, a symphony without sound. To achieve the blended coloration of the piece, Jennifer's technique involves the use of chalk pastels and hand blended symbols.

Revamped to a new, improved statement!

Jennifer Chambers's piece "Chain" focuses on the concept of the spirituality of animals by abstracting their basic activities that they engage in, thus elevating them to more of a conceptual idea. The basic colors and symbolism of the piece allow the viewer to contemplate the activities that are occurring before them. The piece is interspersed with some sound effects to identify each animal, and relies upon a subtle synthesized background track, which will allow viewers to focus upon the symphony of color provided by the use of chalk pastels.
