Jamie-Lee Garner is an interdisciplinary artist that works with immersive colour and post consumer materials. Her practice foregrounds ongoing reflections on her life in a female body and the cultural imperative to recognise and revalue the labour of women across generations.

 

Her practice engages with the historically gendered use and production of textiles; positioning them as emblems of cultural memory, expression, resistance and embodied knowledge. Jamie-Lee explores the afterlives of domestic materials and reforms them for the future.

 

Central to her exploration of women's history is the elucidation of cultural attitudes that infiltrate and transform all of our lives. Her work invites us to consider our relationship to women, the value of materials we discard and the labour we overlook, alongside broader questions of how we remain forever connected to our discarded materials.

 

Jamie-Lee received her BA in Architecture from the University of Sydney in 2018.
