Project Award 2025

Jen Jolliff will visit dozens of parks to collect discarded objects and construct on-site temporal assemblage sculptures. She will take photographs of these works, post the images online, then deconstruct the artworks, sort the materials by their recyclability and properly dispose of the remains. Joliff plans to showcase these images in an end-of-summer presentation and artist talk.

When asked what she would like the public to know, Jolliff responded, “In addition to being a visual artist for 30 years, I’m an author and podcaster.”
