Biography

Jodie Carey's practice explores the universal human urge to make an impression on our surroundings. Through site-responsive sculptural installations, Carey's practice adopts culturally universal, age-old artistic methods of creation, often evoking ritualistic or primitive traditions. Through revisiting these techniques, her oeuvre emphasises the relationship between object making and commemoration, whilst also looking to the physical world as a repository of material memory, silently registering the passage of time.

Jodie Carey (b. 1981) studied at Goldsmiths College, completing an MA in Sculpture at The Royal College of Art in 2007. Recent solo exhibitions include Guard, Edel Assanti, London, UK (2024); Beyond the Matrix, 100 Bishopsgate, London, UK (2024); Common Thread, New Art Centre, Salisbury, UK (2020); Sea, The Foundling Museum, London, UK (2018); Stand, St Cyprian's Clarence Gate, London, UK (2018); Dark Night by Daylight, Hå Gamle Prestegård, Nærbø, Norway (2014); Shroud, The Veterinary Anatomical Theatre, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany (2013); Solomon's Knot, The New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall, UK (2012) and Somewhere, Nowhere, Pump House Gallery, London, UK (2011).
