From Sawyer Yards:
“Jodi’s journey began in 1967 when she ventured from her native Canada to explore Europe and the Far and Middle East. The colors and textures of Taiwan and Bangladesh, as well as the rich patters intertwined in the histories of Africa and European countries became part of her soul.
Jodi is a self-taught artist whose talent emerges in every piece she creates. Inspired by nature, she utilizes a process call “Oritatami Nendo: folding clay”. Her unique style resonates across all cultures and styles.
“I fell in love with texture then discovered clay.” Jodi said. I combined the two and now I just can’t stop. Finding new materials can take your work in directions you never dreamed of. I discovered stainless steel thread and wax covered hemp and this gave me the opportunity to create endless lengths and heights of work.”
She has experienced overseas residencies in Africa, the Far and Middle East and across Europe. Her work as a visual artist has opened doors for her to become a national curator and juror, and she is represented in Washington DC, Houston, Texas, New York City, Arizona and Oklahoma and London, UK.”
