Jeni Johnson
My practice moves between painting, sculpture and installation through a long-term body of work structured around planetary and elemental fields. Colour, surface, clay, thread and spacial relationships become ways of thinking through bodily experience, atmosphere and transformation.
Circular paintings, sculptural relics and wall-based constellations are developed together, with each form carrying a distinct role within a wider evolving structure. Recent work has focused on Neptune + Water, Jupiter + Fire and Mercury + Air.
Lived Experience
My practice is shaped by a background in learning, teaching and participatory work, alongside movement between Sussex and London and an ongoing return to rural studio making. These experiences continue to inform an approach that values slowness, material attention and the relationship between body, atmosphere and place.
