A Collection of Collections

ARTIST STATEMENT

Jo Blogg is a multimedia artist whose practise grows from an obsessive relationship with things – found, handled, discarded, gifted, and carried through other people ‘s lives. Trained in jewellery and allied crafts in London, she works primarily with second-hand and scavenged materials, drawn to their emotional residue and quiet histories. Charity shop objects, domestic fragments, toys, textiles and overlooked detritus become the raw matter of her work, each “thing” understood not as inert material but as a carrier of connection.

Her current exhibition, A Collection of Collections, emerges from a personal theory of “the thing” – the small , charged moment or object that appears when attention is paid, when need meets presence. Threading, pinning, binding, and assembling, Jo transforms accumulations of humble objects into intricate three-dimensional forms that resemble jewellery yet resist wearability. These impractical adornments hover between intimacy and absurdity, tenderness and discomfort, asking what we carry , why we keep, and how objects hold us in return.

Through repetition, accumulation, and acts of joining, her work traces invisible red threads between people, touch, memory, and material afterlife. Every element has passed through other hands; every object is already part of a larger human chain. In Jo’s world, everything is a thing -  and everything is alive with the possibility of meaning, if we are willing to notice.
