About
Jenny Lewis is a London-based award-winning artist. Her lens-based practice spans 30 years and now incorporates printmaking and installation. She is interested in themes of transition, loss and reconnection, disrupting and reassembling the language and constraints of photography.
Much of Jenny’s practice is rooted in intimate engagement with her local community. Her monographic projects One Day Young (2015), Hackney Studios (2018) and One Hundred Years (2021) were published by Hoxton Mini Press.
In recent years, Jenny has turned to unseen and underrepresented aspects of women’s lives, from birth to menopause. UnBecoming (2024) documents and conceptualises her experience living with a chronic invisible illness while simultaneously navigating the unknown territory of menopause. Her newest project, Mutinous Bodies (2026), extends this inquiry, gathering voices that share a crip perspective.
