Jennifer Harmon is a Brooklyn based interdisciplinary designer.
Following a career as an art director/graphic designer, Jennifer received her Master of Architecture in 2005 from the University of Michigan where her efforts received numerous design awards including the school's highest honor, the Thesis Award. Her thesis, "Retreat from Consciousness" was presented in "4/77 Selected Works" exhibit at the Taubman College of Architecture Gallery. She was also the recipient of the Elizabeth Binda Guida Fellowship that enabled her to study in japan while attending the Taubman School of Architecture.
Graphic design has been a significant influence in Jennifer's architectural practice. The combination of these two broad skill sets has provided her with a breadth of technique that she now employs to inform her creative speculations.
Her work acts as a commentary on our relationship to the industrial and natural landscape, using techniques that inherently create a romanticized pastiche that are reminiscent of weathered and decaying building materials which emphasize and layer time, physical condition and memory.
She has recently been awarded a residency at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH where her research will explore the connection between subterranean worlds and the collective consciousness of the public.
