Jodie L Kipps is an interdisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. She works across sculpture, installation and textiles, prioritising iterative handmade processes to make symbolically and sensorially rich artworks. Her engagements with the psychology of liminal spaces extends her interest in the body. She thinks of architectural space as a form of confinement and a container for memories, and she offers the space of her art for indulging complex human feelings, reflective healing and exploring the possibilities – real, metaphorical, somatic and unconscious – of entry and exit. Her work speaks expansively to the decorative arts, craftivism, quilting and feminist practice. Delicate tensions ripple throughout her investigations of costuming and concealment, intrigue, and repulsion, planning and spontaneity, life and death. She makes invitational art, allowing audiences to touch some works, inciting curiosity with others, and revelling in personal interpretations. At the heart of her practice is a desire to tune into the poetics of the everyday.
