She is interested in planetary rhythms – the cycles of life and death. Her exhibited body of work is based on themes related to Monday, or ‘day of the moon,’ such as the cycle of the seasons, tide and female fertility. Jung’s work conjures a sense of journey, longing and rhythm based on the Moon-day. Moon is a symbol present in many of Jung’s works – in the concrete slabs of the ‘Mooned Noon’ and in the photographic piece ‘Spooning the Waxing Moon’ where the artist holds a spoon up to the moon as if eclipsing it in front of the camera.

This imperfection later came to be interpreted as a moral flaw, such as Othello’s jealousy or… Read More As part of the Hertfordshire Year of Culture, this group exhibition focuses on works by six artists living and working in Hertfordshire. With varying visual languages, artists Fiona Curran, Yva Jung, Dave Nelson, Kirke Raava, Amanda Ralph and Imogen Welch all share an inherent interest in the process of moulding and re-shaping experiences of memory or place.
