Playscapes- Artist Talk with Dr Jenna Fox

Join artist Dr Jenna Fox for a talk sharing her art journey. This will be through images and the research and meaning behind her work including exploration of her PhD on the use of alter egos, a rich and funny topic as her alter egos often led to darkly humorous areas.

Expect a lively presentation with plenty of time to ask questions.

Dr Jenna Fox is a British artist whose PhD research explores alter egos as a way to tap into alternative and sometimes conflicting creativity within her practice. Alter egos enable her to question identity and place. The inside, the outside, boundaries, viewpoints and the movement between the two. She employs playfulness and humour as a coping mechanism and a means of exploring complex, often troubling topics in an accessible manner through painting, sculpture, and installations

She has exhibited extensively across the UK and was selected for Wells Contemporary 2022 for an installation of huge flowers. Her work is on show at Reading station with a mural 10m x 3.3m and at the Reading Festival site with a huge mural painted in June 2025. In May 2023 she held a solo show at Guildford Cathedral and the Sunbury Gallery. She has exhibited at The National Trust, for The RSPB, Earley Station, Trowbridge Town Hall, Cromwell Place Gallery and The Crypt Gallery London, and is on permanent display at South Western Rail, The Sculpture Park Farnham, The War Horse memorial at Royal Ascot, Frimley Park Hospital and West Swindon Parish Council. She has just completed a huge mural at Oxford Road, Reading for NWR in September 2025.
