We are delighted to present the captivating work of Elle Jackson, an artist whose practice intertwines her deep connection to nature with a material-driven approach to artmaking. Living in London, Jackson draws inspiration from the juxtaposition of both the city environment and the accessibility to nature, in a city that harmoniously balances urban and natural environments. Created in the studio, this body of work vibrates with textures, colours, and forms rooted deeply in the earth.
Jackson’s multidisciplinary approach spans painting, repurposed textiles, and foraged clay, resulting in tactile, highly textured pieces that tell stories of regeneration and the cycles of nature, coaxed into materiality by her instinctual feeling for making.
Jackson’s work is a testament to her curiosity and respect for materials. She creates wall-based forms that merge the realms of painting and sculpture, breathing life into her materials and exploring the interconnection of her inspirations and processes. This interplay fosters a surprising dynamism within her work—simultaneously reflective of her thoughtful process and rooted in a commitment to discovery.
At the heart of Jackson’s practice is time spent in nature fueling her creativity, serving as both inspiration and a grounding force. Her process mirrors nature’s cycles: layers build upon each other, at once burying and then revealing the surface. Jackson’s work invites viewers to engage with her work through a lens of curiosity and reflection, beautiful colours and textures, emotive and refreshing; a small meditation on the enduring beauty of the world.
