…evocative and whimsical works inspired by the ever-evolving visual language of our natural, cultural and urban landscapes.
The design process and the evolution of 20th century art and design have long inspired this immensely talented artist to incorporate areas of our visual culture in her work. Working from elements of our urban landscape, particularly architecture, structural design, and commercial signage, and away from the connotations of traditional precious jewelry, Anderson developed multimedia pieces in the form of miniature structures. From this a wearable piece of Jewellery could be removed.
…fun to own, fun to wear…
…exploration of concept, line, colours and materials…
Working from historical buildings in Banff including the Banff Springs Hotel and Banff Park Museum, led to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Banff National Park Pavillion. This in turn led to other Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.
Jackie Anderson is a 1976 graduate of the Jewellery and Metal Arts Program, and a 2002 recipient of an Alumni Award of Excellence from the Alberta College of Art and Design. As a full-time artist, she has worked in her medium for over 40 years, her work is represented in public collections including the Alberta Foundation of the Arts, the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. She has presented workshops and lectures at Canadian universities, colleges, museums, and galleries on her work and in the use of alternative materials and design. Anne Barros, Ornament and Object: Canadian Jewellery and Metal Art (Boston Mills Press, 1997) singled out Anderson’s work for its “use of unusual material and evocation of place.” In 2002, she was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. At the 2016 Metal Arts Guild Canada 70th Anniversary exhibition, INNOVATION, Jackie Anderson received the coveted Design Award.
Rock’n Roll: Pandemic Play.
Working from architectural images/references I have ‘played’ with the concept of confinement and moving around a contained space during quarantine.
The individually designed and hand fabricated works contain semi precious and non precious materials. The beads roll around the pieces and ‘hit the wall’ and the clear acrylic top containing them. They can’t get out. But as one gets used to the shortcomings one adapts to working and playing within the space.
Literally bouncing off walls, semi precious beads roll around in the pieces and remain contained under the plexiglass top. Like being quarantined during the pandemic.
