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.
​
Through my work I aim to remind us that life is woven with threads of meaning. Working primarily with ceramics and recycled textiles, I explore what it is to embrace the fluidity of human perception, how textiles can carry the energetic signature of our memories, notions pertaining to what is historically 'women's work' and materiality with regards to sustainability.
​
I believe that colour is a portal, a visual bridge that brings forth memories and emotions. This is an idea I am continuously discovering and building upon through this infinite kaleidoscope of colours and cotton threads.
​​
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!
