Jenna North is a Washington, D.C. based interdisciplinary artist, professor, and curator who considers the vast majority of her work to function as social aesthetics. Her work is driven by a deep concern for environmental justice and the rights of nature, especially regarding water, in the form of contamination and climate change-induced sea level rise. She often collaborates with a wide range of scientists, designers, and artists for public projects and her own studio practice. North's work currently toggles between functional eco-art, painting, photography, multimedia installation, and performance as both her hydrofracking obsessed Post-Apacolyptic Interior Decorator alter ego, Wendy Well, and a Senators wife from Kansas, Joan Dare.
