“Her ocular rocks feature extremely realistic renderings of eyes. On some of her larger rocks, Allnutt completely envelops each eye with a lid, lashes, and skin.”
“Queenstown has an extensive mining history and there were many unusual rocks everywhere. So I began a collection and what started as something for myself grew into a treasure hunt/community art project”
“Every person has a favorite activity, like taking romantic walks along the beach, hiking or picking up rocks, painting eerily realistic human eyes on them and then returning them to the landscape – you know, just regular stuff”
“There is a quiet, subterranean rhythm in the work of Jennifer Allnutt that mirrors the pulse of our own existence. As the 3rd Prize Winner of the RAYMAR Painting Award in the 2025 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, Jennifer does not simply paint; she documents the delicate architecture of a soul in bloom.”
