"The aquatints of Jenny Watson's series, Bottled Memories, contain a distillation of her personal history in the shape of memories that have formed, and continue to inform, who she is. Each work in the series is a bottling of words, associations and fragments that are preserved in glass like a specimen of scientific curiosity. Fractured and abstracted, letters float free from the words, memories and events they signify."
(Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney)
