I don’t really know how to describe what I make because it changes all the time.I just like following ideas and finding different ways to express them.Most of the time it starts with something I can’t stop thinking about. An idea gets stuck in my head and won’t leave me alone until I follow it. They don’t usually arrive one at a time either, they seem to come in waves, and I’m still trying to work out how to keep up with them without letting them completely take over.I enjoy making connections between things. Watching an idea slowly come together is probably my favourite part. Sometimes it becomes a painting, sometimes a collection of handmade objects, and sometimes it sits in a notebook until I finally work out what I was trying to say.I don’t think making things gives me answers. I think it helps me ask better questions.
Works
A selection of finished artworks from across my practice. Some belong to ongoing projects, while others exist as individual works.
Projects
Some ideas are over in a day. Others stay with me for years.Each one begins somewhere different, but they all give me the space to keep following an idea for as long as it feels worth exploring.
JJL Archive
JJL Archive is a place for the ideas that become objects.Handmade pieces, wearable collections, and one-of-a-kind finds inspired by memory, found materials, and the things I can't help bringing home.
About
