Artist Statement

Jesse Lloyd is an MFA student in sculpture at Indiana University. Working with found materials, textiles, and wood, she investigates the properties of form and color as they are translated through material, and is interested in the relationships that emerge between objects, their surroundings, and the viewer. Infrastructure, architecture, and supply chains form a thematic and conceptual lens through which she filters her materials and visual language. Through her work she explores material boundaries and limits as generative and playful sites of possibility, and asks the viewer to consider they ways we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
