About Jenny Steele
Jenny’s practice uses heritage weaving techniques to create tactile, evocative and joyful sculptures, exploring celebration, grief and ritual. She is interested in how celebration can be an act of empowerment, a way to feel belonging and fulfil our innate need for uplifting warmth.
Jenny uses the processes of loom weaving, basketry & passementerie and her work highlights the tactual, sensorial and metaphorical qualities of weaving, experiencing it as a universal sculptural language, with familiar and accessible properties due to everyday use in interiors, dress and functional objects.
