Remnants of the Past: Jenny K of Junk Girls

A friend of mine last fall told me about an assemblage artist that she had met. Jenny K is her name and she is having a showing of her work at this little store couple of towns over. It was a Saturday and I was in the middle of my Saturday chores but any chance to get out of them and I was off. Walked into the door of this little shop, faced a wall of galvanized sheeting and my jaw dropped. Rulers, rolling pins, foundry molds, horseshoes, funnels, musical parts and you name it. Junk some would say but not to Jenny K of Junk Girls. Jenny takes items that we would toss and turns them into creative emotional pieces of art. I have been wanting to include artists in my show and Jenny was perfect! Jenny’s creations are amazing. She uses bits and parts of vintage pieces and re-creates them into pieces that will touch your heart or be that special industrial piece that is perfect for that spot in your room.
