Jasmine Bruce lives and works on Ngunnawal land in Canberra, ACT. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, her practice is intuitive and iterative. Creating sculptural forms and vessels out of discarded silk is her current medium.
These delicate yet robust structures are hand woven using an open twining technique. Constructing material into a three-dimensional form has enabled her to integrate the use of space and movement.
Making sculptural forms for Jasmine, is a way to explore the space between materiality and immateriality. Often the softness of the silk is contrasted with a stronger, more solid material like stone. Her current series incorporates quartz found in South Australia. Sourcing discarded fiber from the conventional silk spinning process, sustainability is a core part of her life and artwork.
Jasmine is currently working on an ongoing series that explores liminality as a broad concept to investigate times of transition and interrogate states of limbo, loss and uncertainty. Jasmine's work was selected as a finalist in the 2024 Goulburn Art Award.
