Jenna Fox is a British artist studying an MA in sculpture at The Royal College of Art.
I've always be interested in what identifies us from our life experiences be it inwardly focused trauma to the body's geography of scars, bodily modification and accidents that leave a trace. As a private person myself I thought that people would want to keep silent, and some do, but I have been overwhelmed by how many people want to talk, share and rejoice in their scars and mental and physical disruptions. This dynamic and fission between the internal and the external, mind body and soul is what is SO exciting. My work relates to universal debates on identity, and mental health and I have a soft spot for the home and feminism. I make sculptures, installations, photography and performance pieces which are the external manifestations of these debates. I enjoy reaching out and gaining insight from others to inform my thinking and my work. Often kitsch, tongue in cheek and playful my practice sticks it’s tongue out at life’s hardships as playfulness is a coping mechanism. Often confessional it seeks to expose issues that are often kept silent and to show that our vulnerabilities are our strengths.
Work is currently on show at The War Horse Memorial, Royal Ascot and has been shown at The National Trust, The RSPB, Earley Station, Trowbridge Town Hall and The Crypt Gallery, London, on permanent display at South Western Rail, The Sculpture Park Farnham and Frimley Park Hospital.
