Expanding on her printmaking practice, Jaffe’s vibrant and playful imagery have recently evolved into a more layered approach. Abstract and figurative shapes made from a variety of plates and found objects like bubble wrap, fabrics, plastics and paper, overlap one another to create textured and layered compositions. Through this recent collection of monoprints, Jaffe creates a sense of organized chaos that takes a turn from her previous work on paper and fills the page in ways similar to some of her murals.
Across a variety of mediums, Jaffe’s work often intersects themes of political activism, natural healing and spiritual grounding. The representation of women is as apparent in these works on paper as in the artist’s murals. Sensations of boundlessness, togetherness, and collective care can be found throughout this exhibition as subjects sit still, stretch, and dance in abstracted gardens and natural spaces.
