Lost - A journey through the fragile mind Installation

To commission, exhibit or purchase my work e.mail me at: jacquibyrne@btinternet.com My work is site and subject responsive and I use contextual materials to illustrate meaning. Working from my farm on the Dorset coast, trace and memory are central to my practice. Where I capture and translate the transient qualities of my often ecologically sensitive subject matter into both ephemeral and tangible works. Over the last 3 years my practice has evolved into making site responsive installation work. My final MA graduation work 'Lost - A journey through the fragile mind' was filmed and shown at exhibition through the hanging pieces of the original installation. (See photos attached titled: 'Lost - A journey through the fragile mind') My earliest influences stretch back to when I was just 3 years old and fascinated with the colour and feel of fabric, influenced by my mother who fitted dressmaking in around raising her large family. By 18 I briefly had a small fashion design business in Ireland. Later, moving to London, I studied Millinery design alongside Jewellery Design and Fashion Illustration. This year I celebrate my 3rd year of acceptance into the International Contemporary Artists Book. Some of my work hangs in private collections in the UK, Ireland, USA and Poland. I love to grow and learn as an artist and constantly find inspiration in the wild meadow farm and in the beautiful landscape where I live in Dorset on the South Coast of England.
