" 'Found' is formed of 18 life-size, totemic sculptures, each cast from the void left by rolls of fabric buried in soil. 'Found' creates an environment that feels both natural and sacred, and suggestive of a ruin or archaeological find. The poured plaster bears traces of the land in which the sculptures were cast – centuries of soil, stones and plant roots. This earth-bound process resonates with the narrative of love, loss, hope and survival."
- Excerpt from the essay 'Sea', The Foundling Museum, 2018

Over the past decade, Jodie Carey has explored 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 studied at Goldsmiths College, completing an MA in sculpture at The Royal College of Art in 2007. Institutional solo exhibitions include 'Sea', The Foundling Museum, UK (2018), 'Dark Night by Daylight', Hå gamle prestegård, Norway (2014), 'Shroud', Tieranatomisches Theatre Humboldt University, Germany (2013), 'Solomon’s Knot', New Art Gallery Walsall, UK (2012) and 'Somewhere, Nowhere', Pump House Gallery, UK (2011). Recent group exhibitions include 'Common Thread', Roche Court New Art Centre, Salisbury, UK (2020); 'Parallel Lines: Sculpture and Drawing, the Royal Society of Sculptors', London (2019), 'Sweep – Landskip, Kinokino Kunstal', Norway (2018), 'The London Open', Whitechapel Gallery, UK (2015), and 'Women to Watch' 2015, The National Museum of Women in the Arts Washington in London (2015). In 2019, Jodie Carey’s work 'Cord' was included in Frieze Sculpture Park, curated by Clare Lilley, Director of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
