JIM JENNEWEIN
After starting his creative journey as an advertising copywriter, Jim spent twenty years writing Hollywood screenplays. A member of the Writers Guild of America since 1990, his produced film credits include the 90’s family comedies “The Flintstones” and “Richie Rich.” He has a BFA from the University of Notre Dame, an MFA from UC Riverside, and he currently teaches screenwriting at Fordham University in NYC. Having returned recently to painting, Jim wishes he could be as good a cityscape painter as Edward Hopper and as great a colorist as Henri Matisse.In tandem with the intrinsic characteristics of soft and flexible fibers, Jiyoung’s artistic exploration extends beyond conventional boundaries to encompass the vast possibilities encapsulated within hard fiber materials. The inclusion of hard fibers introduces a contrasting element that challenges the traditional notions associated with fiber art. This expansion marks a deliberate departure from the familiar terrain of “softness” and introduces a multidimensional and dynamic range of textures. Exploring the rigidity and durability of these fibers opens up a new realm of sculptural possibilities, allowing her to push the limits of form and structure.
Jiyoung holds a Bachelor of Fiber Arts from Ewha Womans University, South Korea and is currently a graduate student in the MFA Textiles program at Parsons School of Design.
