Jill Walker
Chester, Cheshire, UK
Jill’s interest lies in giving form to a memory of place, whether in reference to the land or a personal understanding of home.
Her work draws on the museum as a way of bringing together objects and works on paper—acts of collation and display that evoke a sense of wonder through material presence and hidden meaning.
Influenced by folklore, nature, and rural traditions, Jill works intuitively, handling materials with a slow, repetitive rhythm. She takes time to notice connections—physical, emotional, or social—that surface through simple acts of making. Over time, the accumulation of assemblages, marks, and objects reveals its own quiet presence.
Her pieces invite a contemplative, sensorial experience—one that encourages stillness, attentiveness, and a deepened engagement with the overlooked.
