Jackie Brown

My work stems from an interest in nature, science, and living systems and I believe wholeheartedly in arts capacity to enrich the way we see, experience, and understand the world around us. My primary focus is sculpture installation and I use abstraction to blur boundaries between the real and the imagined. Through each installation I strive to convey a feverish sense of immediacy and vitality and I aim to suggest limitless potential for growth, movement, and transformation. At the heart of my work is a love of material and I hope to invite people to look closely as they move through the space and encounter a myriad of forms, colors, and surfaces.
