Jackie Blue is a transgender artist who will never experience pregnancy or child birh. Birthing art from herself is the way that she heals this heartbreak.
The pieces she creates, often part of larger collections, are intuitively informed by moments in her life in need of processing and further intro/extrospection. The through lines, points of stability within her creative process, are the materials and techniques she returns to repeatedly. Textiles, ceramics, metal and screen printing are her main mediums of focus. Whether it is behind closed doors or presented for an audience to see, performance and installation are also key components for realizing her work.
In making art about her lived experience, she comes to better understand her existence—disrupting the world while mothering her own.
Her art is made in her likeness, mirrored offspring that thank her for being created.
Jackie loves spending time with her dogs and continues to create any moment she can. In the future she looks to attend an MFA program where she can continue to hone her craft.
