Sculpture by Jennifer Bolande, Earthquake (washers, dryers, speakers, film, screen and sound (audio + video components), 71.25" x 68.25" x 68", 2004). The image illustrates a key body of work by Jennifer Bolande begun in the 1980s when she produced found image and object assemblages by stacking, resizing and reframing fragmentary, intangible and peripheral elements, events and motifs. In this work, she revisited recurrent themes including the cube, loudspeakers and washer/dryers in two rhyming works, a film of a dryer in close-up and a stacked assemblage of speakers and a washer/dryer. This body of work and individual piece were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Jennifer Bolande's career that began in the 1980s: her found image and object assemblages. These works explored processes of reproduction and reception involving sound and sight, accumulating oblique meanings by stacking, resizing and reframing fragmentary, intangible and peripheral events and motifs—among them, the ignored furniture in porn movies, inert Marshall amplifiers and speaker cones, washer/dryers and vintage refrigerator doors. She created them through an inductive, often additive process operating in the space between photography and sculpture that catalogued ideas and relationships among sets of objects and images across different contexts. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key foundational body of work, which brought Bolande initial recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and museum acquisitions. Bolande's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
