Jennifer Trouton (b. 1971) is a Northern Irish artist whose practice incorporates paint, embroidery, wallpaper, and textiles. Through her charting of spaces, objects and experiences Trouton creates contemporary coded dramas that subtly express ideas around gender, class and identity within Irish history. Original Sin and Last Supper are the culmination of eight years’ research and development of work that looks at women impacted by the Church and State’s attempts to suppress reproductive rights on the island of Ireland.
