Jenny Orchard: Bush of Ghosts

‘Bush of Ghosts’ features Jenny Orchard’s signature ceramic sculptures, alongside new works on paper. Characterised through bold colours, multiple textures and floral adornments, Orchard captures the awkward collision between art and the fragile future of biogenetics.

‘My Random Variable Identities (RVI) are also called Mulitspecies, they represent the living world as we are beginning to know it, as chance combinations of creatures, -micro -organisms, bacteria, viruses, and technology; all living in bodies, and plants, the oceans and the clouds. My creatures ask questions and form relationships with the viewer and those they encounter. They are the playful happenstances of our interconnected planet, where diversity, curiosity and art collide.’ – Jenny Orchard.
