An exploration of my ontology concerning secular pilgrimages, both onshore and at sea, is conducted through various mediums, including installation, photography, print, video, and sculpture.
My art is deeply influenced by a heightened awareness of mortality, stemming from a profound diagnosis. I delve into the human condition at its fringes, exploring brokenness and our responses to existence and temporality. Beyond this, my interest in philosophy guides me in creating authentic art. Currently, I am a postgraduate researcher pursuing a doctorate in Fine Art.
My practice is informed with an engineer’s grasp of materials and a keen appreciation for art history. I embrace a multidisciplinary approach without a specific preference for any one medium. This philosophy led to the recognition of the DigiTech commission and the establishment of JL Engineering Art in 2020.
My DfA research has focused on passaging through one’s space through secular pilgrimages. This has resulted in me developing my sailing to become an endorsed skipper, which I hope will further my understanding of the concept of the passage and waterborne pilgrimages. This has resulted in the creation of JL Sailing Art, a project that looks to skippered passages, with like minded people on planned routes. In 2023 I planned and completed an anti-clockwise circumnavigation around the uk and Ireland.
My influences include Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Christian Boltanski, and Anya Gallaccio.
Born in 1974, I live and work in Suffolk, England.
