Never a Cross Word

Jacqueline Bradley

ANCA Gallery, ACT1 Rosevear Place, Dickson

20th - 31st May 2009, Wednesday –Sunday, 12-5pm

Never a Cross Word was my first large scale solo exhibition. ANCA (Australian National Capital Artists) is a great gallery to exhibit at, and the exhibition was a fantastic experience. When developing these sculptural and installed works I was concerned with making a body of work which encompassed large and small, intimate and overwhelming. I wanted to hint at a connection between the lived-in home and lived-in body by using household objects and building materials including windows, picture-rails, skirting boards and wallpaper in conjunction with fabricated elements. These works explore something fantastic happening in ordinary spaces, windows that breathe like lungs or walls that fold into corners, investigating the delineation between internal and external, active and inanimate, disclosure and secrecy. Never a cross word was an exploration of intrigue and whimsy in which the construction of memories, truths and perception are mediated by a living, breathing home.

A Delicate Balance

Jacqueline Bradley

9 - 19 October 2008

At the Vanishing Point Gallery

565 King St, Newtown

This exhibition was a small solo show in the window space of At the Vanishing Point Gallery, in Newtown, Sydney. I wrote a short statement to go along with this exhibition, and here it is:

When an idea is constantly running around a mind, what does that look like? How can the squirming of a nervous stomach be seen? Jacqueline Bradley’s exhibition, A Delicate Balance, explores the potential for inanimate objects to describe these subjective experiences. These intimate sculptural works find a home between familiar and whimsy using a visual language of household objects, sewn and constructed elements to portray internal workings, secret happenings and frozen thoughts.
