ABOUT
Hi! 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.
​
As an artist I am focused on a cross disciplinary approach to art as a way to explore engaging public wonder by creating visual experiences that aim to lead the viewer to private and personal insights. My work is driven by my interest in the fluidity of human perception and the energetic signature of our memories. By working across various mediums, including ceramics. recycled textiles, film photography and oil painting, I strive to create works about the discovery of self in a way that aims to be accessible and most importantly delightful.
I explore this through an infinite kaleidoscope of colours that to represent all that is universal; atoms, leaves, rocks, endless cotton loops, colours and patterns. Each colour radiates its own chromatic vibration, a potential echo with the power to bring forth a memory and to share a personal message. I believe there is an unspoken intelligence that seems to reach us through colour and I am especially interested in how these memories can be transformed through the process of creating and observing art.
​​
The textiles featured are recycled offcuts of vintage towels from 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 also work commercially and love collaborating with others so hit me up below with your hopes and dreams!
