Jackie Langfeld

Winchester, Hampshire, UK

Enjoying the investigation of the unusual or unconventional in her work, the object is an important opening point for this artist. The found treasure or the discarded material is a teller of tales.

 So, the coach bolt left in the grate becomes a bone; a forensic trace perhaps and an enquiry about the maker and user of such a thing. When gathered together with others they become redolent of a spine; supporter for a short while before an inevitable demise. A borrowing of sorts.

The discarded and rusty cheap metal spoon is given another more exotic and glamorous life; a second chance to shine and a change from the purely functional; a playful and frivolous reincarnation.

The re-cycled cardboard is laden with meaning, with both refuge and refuse come to mind and serving as ironic contemporary comment on the contrasts and failings of our society.

Jackie’s intentions are to provide stimulating and sometimes challenging visual pieces that perhaps change perception and provoke discussion.

The pleasure of ‘doing’ and ‘making’ is supported by serious thought and genuine enthusiasm for creative practice in all its forms.
