ABOUT
My name is Jamie-Lee Garner and I am an interdisciplinary Artist that lives and works in the Northern Tablelands, on Ngarabal country in NSW, Australia. I received my BA in Architecture from the University of Sydney in 2018. ​
I work primarily with ceramics and recycled textiles, exploring how colour and textiles carry the energetic signature of our memories. Through my work I aim to remind us that our experiences are open to interpretation with the constant possibility of reinterpretation. I ask what it is to embrace the fluidity of human perception when each memory is woven with threads of meaning.
​
I believe that colour is a portal, a visual bridge that brings forth these memories and emotions. This is an idea I am continuously discovering and building upon through this infinite kaleidoscope of colours and cotton threads.
​​
The textiles featured are 'waste' offcuts of vintage towels donated by Re/lax Remade, a sustainably focused, Sydney-based fashion label. Each piece an ode to the generations of families that owned these towels and the memories permeate each fabric remnant.
​
I love collaborating with others so please get in touch and we can build some dreams!
