about
Jessica Winton is a sculptor, performer and collaborator who advocates for art in the public realm. Her transdisciplinary practice has led her work to a variety of outcomes – all drawn from her belief in the ability of the arts to imagine and support alternate futures.
Her sculptural work is shown through gallery exhibitions, and unsanctioned interventions, her performances are often publicly participatory events. Her material approach has been influenced by her work in the Art Departments of the Film & TV industry and recently as Part-Time faculty in the sculpture department at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design University.
Jessica’s collaborations include:
the sense archive (project – This Body of Work)
The project explores critical feminist performance(s) of motherhood and maternal agency through lived bodily/cellular experiences. The work locates the body as the initial source and archive for the labour/work of the m/other and explores the themes of care, identity, trauma/loss, transformation, and lineage.
