Artist's Bio
Jem Mellor is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, weaving, photography and writing.
Interested in the world building ability of materials and their active agency within culture, Jem's work develops artistic and pedagogical practices which seek to give space to consider and explore a material's way of being in the world and the co-productive relationships between humanity and matter. Using performative and traditional research models, Jem's work is concerned with relational knowledges and how we view, use and collaborate with our material counterparts.
