      <image:title>About Jessica</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jessica Akerman (b.1978, Wellington, UK)  lives and works in Bristol, UK. Her material-led practice moves between two and three dimensions to  explore the visual and symbolic potential of objects and bodies: their materiality, function, and the power they carry. She reimagines everyday objects and systems, often using humour and playful tactics to explore the theme of labour, and how experiences of work reveal restricted environments and fantasy realms. She studied Sculpture at Chelsea College of Art, and History of Art &amp; French at UCL. She has exhibited in the UK and Ireland, has received funding from Arts Council England, and was a Lead Artist on Artichoke’s national artwork Processions. Residencies include TheCoLAB Body and Place Residency 2024, Kent Cultural Baton Hoo Peninsula Artist Retreat and Metal Time and Space Residency.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Huge thanks to Kirstie Gregory of the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds for her exhibition review of Fat Rascals - please read below. I do think work is gendered. But the more personal the process of discovering a gender for the work, or issues about gender, the more interested I am. The way decisions can be ignited beyond manifestos, doctrines and theories is what inspires me. The female occupation of space could begin with an emotional response about a relationship to a certain kind of behaviour.                                                                                                                                                 Phyllida Barlow   This exhibition is inspired by the Pantone Colours of the Year 2000-2023; colours of the beach—rosy coral sunsets, bold blue skies, azure seas, also of the nursery—soft pinks, baby blues, sunny yellows, the colours of discarded plasticine projects and decorated cupcakes. This ‘hidden code’ of a colour scheme holds up a mirror to what for the last 23 years has been considered one of the pinnacles of good taste. And the artist proceeds to question the validity of such an elitist notion. These colours, often representing human skin, are a bit too vivid, too livid, to be healthy. Something unsettling has also happened to scale, said body parts are shrunken, or blown up to extraordinary effect. In Bustle Tongue and Stopper (both 2022) the abstracted muscular organ is an alarming size. WAG (finger hook) (2023), made from polymer clay and wood, is a protruding, dismembered finger is the colour of a cartoon bruise. The pretty glazed porcelain Josiah Heads series (2023) are too small, eerily sightless, yet beam up from the floor at the viewer, tiny freakish playthings urging us to pick them up so they can bite us. Akerman describes the subtle story behind their creation: The series started as a collection of men traipsing around on Saturday after their wives – a vignette of gender relations. But through making they morphed into a troupe of jolly industrialists. These were in part inspired by the contradictory figures of philanthropic industrialists who created model villages for workers with good living conditions, yet whose hierarchy and implication in the negative social and environmental impact of industrialisation are still felt.  Despite the clouds on the horizon at the seaside, humour appears in abundance. Marble nose on a butcher’s block (2023) might remind the viewer of the wonderful nineteenth-century short story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, The Nose. In Gogol’s satirical, surreal tale a civil servant is not only alarmed to wake up without his nose, but aghast to discover it has made its way in the world more successfully than him, outranking him and clothed in such a way as to convey ‘it held the rank of a state-councillor’. Just as Gogol uses wit and comedy to poke fun at empty narcissism, Akerman uses nonsensical ideas and imagery to ridicule contemporary society’s value systems, particularly in the area of current perceptions of beauty. Concepts of ideal beauty have changed across the histories of art, but more recently artists have challenged rather than reinforced such ideas; Mossy Leg (2023), Seaweed Groin (2023) and de Bayonne (2022) all display imperfect, monstrous bodies as bold, enchanting and unembarrassed. The latter work on paper adds another linguistic twist to the narrative; Bayonne in France, is famous for its legs of artisanal ham, served up in this painting with added grapes, varicose veins and nail polish. Similar etymological creativity is used in the exotically titled Chilopoda (2022). This bright ceramic plate set on brass castors is a perfect example of the kinds of dichotomy on display throughout the exhibition. Chilopoda gives the impression it might at any moment scuttle under the gallery’s shadow gaps, with its cyclopean single eye and tar-toothed mouth, like much of the work in Fat Rascals, the temptation to touch is short-lived.    Akerman has worked with the idea of scrolls and unravelling for some time, included here is the large installation, Wandering Parts (2022). The artist worked with technicians to adapt three Ikea blinds, using sculptural choreography to create a random sequence of unfurling and rolling-up. She explains her thinking behind these: These drawings morphed into visual representations of the connections women (in particular) make with each other; the intimacies we share in brief meetings and the closeness you can develop with someone whose social or political values you might not share. The shared experience of the female body leads women to overcome differences to forge really strong relationships. Such works share the imagery of popular interior design which appears, slightly altered, throughout the exhibition. They also refer, as the artist explains, to the female body as depicted by the British artist Beryl Cook, who was popular in the 1970s and ‘80s. As Akerman explains, ‘The way Beryl Cook played with those forms, and I enjoy the populist reference, especially after reading a scathing review of her work by a well-known male art critic. I think she was very shy in her private life.’ These subtle references to the female experience in society align with Barlow’s words; there is no manifesto here, rather a measured, emotive message. Turning to the Fat Rascals or as they are officially listed Fat Fingers (and Boobs) (2023), plump and fruity scones, the artist has said that the inclusion of these edible sculptures was intended as a contrasting generosity within the exhibition, ‘in opposition to other more uncomfortable emotions the work is intended to illicit embarrassment, schadenfreude, meanness, the feeling of blushing, social anxiety.’ She also describes the unexpected but satisfyingly appropriate effect of these works as people tentatively ‘danced and dithered’ around the cakes, unsure quite what behavior was allowed in the formal atmosphere of the art gallery. Akerman, like many artists before her who have used edible components in their work, selected prosaic objects to convey complex ideas. God is in the detail, as is often said, but Jessica Akerman’s most recent exhibition recalls the idiom, extending it into the devil is in the details. Her bright and cheerful art belies first glance. She has frequently worked with preordained colour schemes including, ‘the fluorescents of market signage, or Microsoft’s default colour palette’. It is a subtle and intelligent method of triggering collective memory and industrial choice. Through shades of sunbeams and roses Akerman reveals the disturbing narratives of societal assumptions.

Frankie led a workshop/closed performance in which a group of women (and two men) simulated the rhythms and sounds of Hebridean waulking songs, beating their gestures into playdough. This forms part of my ongoing research into the gestures and physicality of work, particularly jobs that work songs evolved to enable; to help synchronise communal activity and keep a steady rhythm.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Where We Used To Go Centre of Gravity, Soapworks, Bristol, 2020 | Photo: Jo Hounsome Taking over a former department store, my installation for the Centre of Gravity exhibition used walls from the former furniture retail displays with ceramics, digitally printed wall hangings, and salt dough objects, to create a homage to the multiple histories of the building, as a consumer palace and soap factory. Repainted Gardiner Haskins furniture showroom display walls, ceramic soap dish, ball and heads, salt dough fingers and eye, suede offcut, knitted textile sample, the O from the Ercol sign. Display units from the Gardiner Haskins mid-century furniture showroom are reconfigured into a new environment to mosey around. The work imagines the building’s different pasts, specifically its people, those who once worked here, manufacturing soap or selling and merchandising homewares. Also, the behavioural patterns of visitors to the department store, the pleasure of shopping and the boredom of waiting, which it often entails. The ceramics and salt dough objects are like votive offerings, in a temple of many incarnations; a temple of consumerism, homemaking and productivity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Upright Downright (Ruins Forming) &amp; Josiah Heads Centre of Gravity, Soapworks, Bristol, 2020 | Photo: Benjamin Jones | Microsoft Excel spreadsheet drawing printed on knitted textile, metal rods, wire  I use Microsoft Excel as a drawing tool in response to my ongoing interest in gender, labour and social attitudes to work. The mundanity and clunkiness of the medium for making large wall hangings became an involved labour in itself. The forms are inspired by the shapes and colours of the department store and former factory, with suggestions of both the decorative intimacy of household Venetian blinds and the industrial shuttering of the warehouse space in which it is hung. The column and its ruin is a familiar image of power and patronage, the built environment bearing the imprint of social and political change.</image:caption>

But through making, they morphed into a troupe of jolly industrialists. These were in part inspired by the contradictory figures of philanthropic industrialists who created model villages for workers with good living conditions, yet whose hierarchy and implication in the negative social and environmental impact of industrialisation are still felt.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Splanter 2025, Cardboard, clay, wood, steel, automotive paint, plants This artwork explores using the wrong tool for the job. Moulding, mushing, angle grinding, turning and sanding cardboard in different forms to create an outdoor plant stand, inspired by Victorian design. The aim is to see how it degrades, and how far to push the tension between structural integrity and preposterous collapse. I have planted to attract slugs. In the top bowl their favourite lupin and lettuce, but to get there they have to traverse a copper tape path and bird bath.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Live / Work / Space, 2014 Hole Story | Dig Collective commission, St John’s rectory, Hackney, London Ravenous property developers, aspirational lifestyles forced into our eyes and minds at every opportunity, the cynical selling of false realities. And then the making the best of it. How to live in one tiny room, eight cubic or squared feet of living space. In One Room Living, 2006 eight people built a room on a platform using Ikea flat pack furniture and interior accessories. Participants followed instructions taken from Ikea’s suggestions for living in cramped spaces and were not allowed to leave the platform during the assembly of the room. In 2014 I revisited this idea, when Dig Collective commissioned me to make a room in the hole they had dug in the garden of a rectory in Hackney, slated for property development. Live / Work / Space was a living/studio space which I occupied, along with a group of friends and visitors over several days. In a wry nod to artists’ involvement in the gentrification process, I even hosted a pop-up Mexican kitchen in the hole. Find out more about the award-winning ‘Hole Story’ here, and featured here in the London Review of Books by Iain Sinclair.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mapping places - Hoo Stevedore, 2012 (detail) (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hoo Stevedore, 2012 (detail) London Thamesport is situated on the Isle of Grain. As in most docks, the majority of workers are male. At Thamesport there are no women stevedores to load and unload cargo. The one woman who has recently taken the physical test to do this role didn’t pass, the strength required to relentlessly lash containers together apparently too great. Closed worlds are inevitably and endlessly fascinating and romantic, the unfamiliar functions of industrial sites included: the towers of containers, immense cranes, dock vocabulary, nautical chart symbols, deep water capacity and thoughts of distant seas and lands. The romantic image dissipates when faced with the health and safety statistics which demonstrate the everyday danger of such industrial labour. This temporary tattoo on my pregnant torso is a take on the traditional designs of sailors and dockers. It is drawn with Hoo clay, which was dug extensively by local ‘muddies’ on the Hoo Peninsula in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to be used in the manufacture of cement. Full image and text published in Nicole Mollet's Kent Cultural Baton Map of Kent, following a residency on the Hoo Peninsula in 2012.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rochford Art Collector Series - Start to Change Your Standards of Working and Living, 2013 (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Start to Change Your Standards of Working and Living, 2013 Rochford Art Collector Series, commissioned by Rochford District Council, devised by Stuart Bowditch and Damien Robinson. For this commission, I created nine collectable Rochford ‘hieroglyphs’; symbolic representations of Rochford’s built environment, using three-dimensional drawing software. Formally, they take inspiration from industrial die casts, in a celebration of the town’s historical relationship with Matchbox toy manufacturing at Lesney’s factory.  The phrase 'Start to change your standards of working and living' is taken from a 1969 Lesney’s recruitment advert directed specifically at the “Ladies” of Rochford. I was taken with its progressive message of aspiring to enjoy the experience of work and improve one’s living conditions through labour.  Women still earn less than men in real terms, even though the Equal Pay Act was passed in 1970, a year after this advert went out.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Annihilation Seal, 2019 ArcadeCampfa, Cardiff | Photo: Michal Iwanowski | This solo show explored the aesthetics of power in visual forms of national identity, playing with ideas for a cross-national rebranding exercise for nuclear super powers. Drawings and objects explode the geometric and decorative components of national seals and emblems, such as wings, claws, horns, beaks and crops. The wing form features heavily – a symbol with multiple readings – flight, strength, weakness, escape. Featuring carbon paper drawings, Excel spreadsheet drawings and large-scale paper weaving.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Horn and chain, 2007 - 2019 The royal coat of arms of the UK depicts the lion and the chained unicorn as supporters, surrounded by the excessive flurries of the full heraldic achievement. The horn and the chain here are isolated from their context, becoming sculptural drawings of a fragmented heraldry that feels remote from the experiences of citizens.

      <image:caption>Disassembled Heraldry and Opisthotonus, 2019 The dinosaur death pose is characterised by a hyperextended neck, thrown back and fractured – opisthotonus. There are several theories about why this happened in the moment of death; one last moment fossilised over and again, a violent depiction of the finality of death, and the visual drama of species extinction.

      <image:caption>Winged Banner (B-2) detail The title of this piece refers to the Stealth Bomber: the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. The theme of military annihilation is expanded beyond national branding here, to incorporate a shape returned to regularly – a component of a stealth bomber wing from a model-making kit. This forms the mirrored wing shapes at the top of the weaving. The ongoing fascination with this stealth technology combines a sense of awe and horror at its potential, as evidence of the complexity of human engineering, and its purpose – to strategically destroy ‘the other’.

      <image:caption>Disassembled Heraldry, 2019 The nine images in this series form a composite drawing. Referencing the number of nation-states with or believed to have nuclear weapons (UK, USA, France, China, North Korea, Israel, India, Pakistan, Russia), imagery from each national emblem is pulled apart, fragmented into a set of flat signs retaining form with meaning sidelined. Layering and recombining familiar, often shared symbols by tracing and overlaying on delicate carbon paper - the staple of stationery shops and receipt books. The dinosaur death pose is an additional motif, skeletal components surfacing through the flimsy paper, explicitly referencing the catastrophe of extinction. Photo: Michal Iwanowski</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Processions | Dazzle Banner, 2018 In 2018 I was one of 100 women artists asked to create a banner for Processions 2018. Working with Made in Roath in Cardiff, we created a sculptural banner reflecting the prow of a ship. Inspired by the designs of WW1 dazzle ships (painted by women at the RCA), armour and camouflage, we worked together to create a striking banner which we processed through Cardiff on 10 June 2018. We accessorised with our homemade cardboard armour, which was a nod to that which women attending suffrage protests sometimes wore under their dresses, to protect themselves from blows.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Refugee Week Healing Banner</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sherman Theatre, Cardiff asked me to make a banner with its communities for Refugee Week 2022. The botanical theme of the banner is inspired by Refugee Week's theme of healing. All of the plants depicted are associated with healing, peace and sanctuary across different cultures around the world. They include Aloe Vera, Yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace (Wild Carrot), Olive, Mistletoe, White Heather and Tulip. The smiles symbolise a spirit of openness and welcome. And finally, contributors have added words of welcome, greeting, healing, and being at peace with oneself in different languages. Dimensions: 4m x 1m Photo: thosepicturedays.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Role Reversal Rehearsal - 7 Positions in 2 Hours, 2013 (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>7 Positions in 2 Hours, 2013 Role Reversal Rehearsal was a study of the gender dynamics of childbirth. The film, made with Abbe Leigh Fletcher, shows a man and woman practicing common birthing positions, but with the roles reversed. During the making of the film, it became apparent that the creative process was a more interesting subject than our choreographed performance. The narrative drawing 7 Positions in 2 Hours documents the complex networks, favours, planning and support systems that are required when creating artwork as a parent of small children. Making the film was made possible by working collectively with a network of other artists and parents. See www.mamsie.bbk.ac.uk/visual_section_index.html for a review by Rebecca Baillie.</image:caption>
