Artists: Jezella Garner
Jezella Garners installations induce memories of home, filtering through a fairy tale twist. Buttons, discarded threads, old glitz and wool are tucked into the gaps and seams. Furniture, piano keys and other wooden components lean precariously against the wall. This suggests fragility - a threat to crumble/buckle under the anonymous tension enveloping it.
Often found propping up, packing themselves into tricky and unlikely spaces lie the inside out toys. Visually, they reveal the 'hand made' 'human' element whilst actively losing the appeal of their original 'starry eyed cute gaze' gaining an intense and direct stare toward the viewer, demanding attention. Using drawing as a pivot for many projects she enables a technical sensibility that supplements the sculptural aspect for previous works and propels future works.
Garner is a recent BA Hons Fine Art graduate from Oxford Brookes University.
