Amy Jenkins (born 1966) is an American artist from Peterborough, New Hampshire who is recognized for her work in video installation and experimental film.
She has a son named Elias [2] Jenkins is best known for her multidisciplinary installations that combine video, audio, sculpture, and performance to create immersive environments.
[6] In her investigations of female identity, miniature objects have played a vital role in Jenkins' videos and multimedia installations.
In her video installation Ebb (1996), Jenkins projects an image of a female bathing in red water—suggesting blood—onto a tiny claw-foot tub on the top of a ceramic-tiled pedestal.
As the video progresses, the water in the tub gradually becomes clear, creating the surprisingly realistic illusion that the blood is unnaturally seeping back into her body—a reversal of the menstrual cycle.
