About the artist
Jellie sees her work as a reflection of a philosophical inquiry into the relationship between body, mind, artist and object. What fascinates her is the question of the limits of freedom and autonomy. Is an artist free and autonomous? In a predominantly Western way of thinking, we often assume this, which makes the reciprocity, dependence and coherence of the individual with the world around him/her seem invisible. Her work arises from this philosophical thought and is at the same time a basis for how she deals with her material. It is about exploring and experimenting, searching for possibilities and boundaries of transformation, connection and making interventions. She uses tools and sometimes machines, but mostly she works with her hands and her body to create shapes in and with materials such as clay, textiles, canvas and rope.
Many thanks to the Cultural Incubator See Lab and Subsidie Makersregeling Gemeente Den Haag, who both made this residency possible.
