Jacquie has completed an MA in Fine Art at Bath Spa School of Art and Design at Bath Spa University. She is currently concerned with the body in space and how to create documentation of this. Her work includes video, mixed media pieces and installation and painting. More recently her focus has become directed towards landscape painting with strong references to her Scottish roots.
Artist’s statement
My body is the primary locus for my experience of being human and of learning. It is my interface with the world. I am investigating making and viewing art that stimulates our interoceptive awareness and leads us to experience art in a more physical way.
“We can often observe in ourselves the curious fact that the visual stimulus is experienced not so much with our eyes as with a different sense in another part of our body” Vischer (1994[1873]:98)
