Jackie Brown

Brunswick, Maine

Artist Statement

My work stems from an interest in nature, science, and living systems and I believe wholeheartedly in art’s capacity to enrich the way we see, experience, and understand the world around us. My primary focus is sculpture installation and I work to invite viewers into imagined biological systems where it can often be hard to tell if the forms are healthy or harmful growths. Each work evolves through a series of installations that shift and grow with each exhibition and through an ongoing evolution of the forms I aim to suggest limitless potential for growth, movement, and transformation. I am particularly fascinated by recent advances in bioengineering and experiments that involve combining or altering the basic components of nature and, on some level, I see myself taking on this role through the creative process – cutting and pasting with the parts and splicing my own imaginative systems together to explore the countless ways that raw material can continuously be restructured and adapted.
