OPEN ME  2022

assemblage of found objects, posca pen

While attempting to avoid social media platforms, a friend asked the artist to connect via a lesser known social media platform.

The same day the artist’s random weave manifested into a platform.

Then one of the artist’s decorative elements, hatched a plan to show off its interior having electronic components within, and a capacitor poked itself out of the crotchet.

Thus, in the impedance measures of server farms exists a capacity that online we find, OMG, LOL and other modes of exit.

About Alexandra Jack

Part of my DNA is being creative. When I am out in the world, I use my creative perspective to inform how I can incorporate the things I see into an artwork. I find that my head is full of creative ideas.

I build artworks layer upon layer and take things that are not considered art media and give them a new lease of life as part of an artwork. Some of the things I give a new lease of life are industrial discards from laser cutting and 3D printing. In the past, I have used things from nature such as gum nuts. I also use toys and paint them to change their look and then incorporate them in an artwork.

If it wasn’t for my creativity I would not be able to cope with the chronic pain that I have, and I would not be the person I am today.
