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.
​
I am focused on a cross disciplinary approach as a way to explore engaging public wonder by creating visual experiences, leading the viewer to private and personal insights. I am 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 and oil painting, I create work 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. I believe that colour is a portal with the power to trigger the imagination and bring forth emotions and memories.
​​
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 also work commercially and love collaborating with others so hit me up below with your hopes and dreams!
