Unveiling the Stories Behind My Art: My Latest Artist Book: Bohemian Seaside Holiday 1920’s

Art has always been more than just paint on a canvas or objects for sculpture for me, it’s can also be a vessel for stories, emotions, and experiences. Many of the pieces I create carries a narrative, often woven from my own life, dreams, and sometimes, imaginative worlds. Today, I am excited to share the story behind one of my recently completed artist book. I believe in the importance of art and storytelling in connecting us all.

Have you ever stepped into a place that felt like a portal to another world?

New Year -New Goals

As we embark on a new year, I'm excited about the possibilities that lie ahead in all aspects of my life.

For many years now, my thoughts have been consumed by the intricate interplay between textiles, and the traditionally feminine realms of crafting that flourished during the Victorian era. Today, I find myself reflecting on how women’s work—

Finding identity through the objects and belongings we collect. I believe, while we may never fully know someone, the belongings they leave behind and the stories they carry can provide valuable insights into their life and identity.

Abandoned Possession - Jenny Davis. This weekend I have been adding more artworks to my gallery page under the headings of sculpture and assemblage. They are a mix of older and newer pieces and made from vintage found objects.The first piece, Abandoned Possession was created after a visit to Versailles Palace in France.

Hope you are all enjoying the brighter daylight now Spring has sprung in the southern hemisphere. In between time in the garden and propagating cutting, I've been pottering around in the studio, doing a bit of tidying up and reflecting on the creative process.

Little gallery doodling collages...only one week left to go for my exhibition. A big thank you to all those who have come along to see the show. I'm having lots of fun meeting up with new people in the gallery and have been sitting the gallery most weekends.

My new exhibition, Wallmatter & Rustmatter is now open. If you're visiting the beautiful Yarra Valley area drop into the Waterwheel Gallery in the middle of the historical town of Warburton Vic.

Wallmatter & Rustmatter is an idea that began in 2016. At the time, I was thinking back to some demolished high rise buildings I had seen in Paris that year. Remembering the massive piles of concrete, metal, tangled with torn clothing everywhere. All amongst graffiti and hand painted signs, protesting the demolition of the homes of the needy.

Wallmatter - Jenny Davis

An installation of paint, concrete and rust, inspired by imperfections and weathered surfaces linking to the abandoned and neglected spaces found in urban and rural environments”

Capturing the imperfections and traces left behind in the environment in 1994. 29 years later and still exploring the moments of change, rust and decay, as well as, the renewal and growth, in the transformation of the environment.
