The bodies of work by Jackie Eksi made over the last 10 years and is ongoing. Using clay sculptures, wood construction, paintings drawings, and photographs. Eksi likes to work in a very broad spectrum of methods and materials. Favouring work that the viewer has to peer into, walk around to fully appreciate. Making the viewer pause for longer, think about and inspire their own questions about memory, personal history, reality and illusion. Can we trust what we see and think we remember about event’s correctly or even in the same way? Eksi’s work is informed by personal experience and early memory, exploring how the retention of these things shape our identity.
