The material-rich art works of Amsterdam-based interdisciplinary artist Jennifer Tee (b. 1973 in Arnhem, the Netherlands) hinge on what the artist describes as “the soul in limbo,” an in-between space through which she attempts, “to define life’s complex narratives between body and mind, between cultures, identities, and belief systems.” Through a unique range of media—including tulip petal collages, pineapple cloth textiles, knit sculptures, ceramics, and performance—Tee investigates concepts such as belonging, transcendence, and human and non-human relationships to nature. A central component of her multivalent practice is her Tampan Tulips series, collages made from pressed tulip petals that reimagine motifs from traditional tampan—small, intricately woven ceremonial textiles from the Lampung region of Sumatra, one of the islands of the Indonesian archipelago. The tampan, which were exchanged during important rites of passage and owned and used by nearly every Lampung family, frequently feature a ship carrying humans, animals, and plants transitioning to other lives. Tee renders these motifs in meticulously cut tulip petals of a range of vibrant varieties gathered in collaboration with horticulturalists. In Tee’s works the spiritual transcendence and transformation referenced by the tampans also call forth a more personal history: the migration of Tee’s father with his family from Indonesia to the Netherlands by ship in the 1950s. This exhibition is Tee’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States.
