For over three decades, Jennifer Merdjan has repurposed shoes and everyday utilitarian objects that she has collected as a consumer to create works of art for a project called If Shoes Could Talk. It takes on several formats and mediums including sculpture, assemblage, and artist books.
She exhibits her artwork across different venues, such as galleries, art festivals, and fundraising events. Select shoe-sculptures were exhibited at MoMA, NYC as part of The Art of the Educator exhibit; a Pop-Up Exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Her artistic book If Shoes Could Talk has raised funds for the United Nations. Internationally she exhibited at ICANA (Instituto Cultural Argentino Norteamericano). Her shoe-sculptures were featured on Univision’s Control TV show.
