Jacqui is a multi-disciplinary metaphysical artist: She observes and recreates the physical materialisation of living.

Play is a an imperative element to her work and the organic structure that art thrives on. From Lūdere meaning to play comes Illusion a confounding of the eye and brain into neutral submission; Allusion hints at meaning without actually conveying it and delusion allows work to be made that is not real as soon as it is made.

In performance she works to recapture the innocence of movement and interaction with objects; the edification and glory of our senses. You see it in children swinging their arms around just for the joy of feeling their own limbs rushing through the air, or stamping up the stairs on their way to bed. It is the physicality of our body with our environment that is our connectedness with it.

Similarly the mechanisation of lifeless objects and machines reflect human emotion. In her work she uses food processors and cement mixers that grind crockery into dust; strobe lights and printers replicate and capture a photographic stillness of the intimate animated body; bicycle wheels turn, metaphysically conveying humanity to household objects. A washing machine slowed down emphasises life’s timelessness through a repetition both soothing and deranging, a suspended space created for whatever the viewer wants to put there, the liminal state beyond the banality of a common household item.
