Kieta Jackson fashions intriguing sculptured artefacts using woven metal strands and sheet copper that weathers over time.<\/p>\n
She weaves fine gauge wire on a loom to produce a tactile fabric that is both hard and soft at the same time. This material is then manipulated into sculpted shapes reminiscent of museum archaeological treasures or beach finds shaped by the sea. Her methods include distressing of the fabric and leaving loose threads to suggest corrosion and ageing of the piece.<\/p>\n
A lifelong interest in archaeological relics and unusual objects shapes her work.<\/p>\n
