In this series I am investigating links between pop culture, soft
violence, fashion and the way young girls become itemized,
sexualized and depersonalized by digital and mass media.
Throughout her various bodies of work, Jari often pushes settled visual boundaries to reveal or conceal information in the images. She is interested in how the brain chooses to see, fill in the blanks, and discard visual information as is common in selective memory. As an artist and fine art photographer, Jari’s images are photographically based, but at times she seeks to challenge traditional notions of the photograph by using various combinations of digital and analog processes, as well as mixed media, installation and printmaking techniques such as polymer photogravure and monotypes.
