Jenny Parkin works by herself and with others to create art that people can think about and get involved with.

"In evoking the language of consumption, Parkin draws parallels between the extremes of wealth disparity in the 18th century, and the aspiration and greed that advertising fuels in our odern-day capitalist society." - curator Susannah Worth, Royal College of Art
