Jean Shon, James Castle House Summer 2023 Resident, at James Castle House in Boise, Idaho on July 23, 2023.
Jean Shon (she/her) is an artist working with installation, photography, and text. Originally from La Marque, Texas, Shon frequently explores notions of hometown, memory, identity, il/legibility, and loss through family history and archives. She focuses on connecting fragmented pasts to the present in order to construct non-linear, complexly layered narratives. Frequently employing family archival material for the basis of her work, she raises questions about the things we inherit: physical, mental, and emotional, and re-presents these remnants of the past to both reveal and reimagine the history they hold.
