JEANNE MEDINA

Chicago

One of my greatest assets is my material, somatic knowledge—knowing with my hands, my skin, my senses. In my studio practice, I try to learn the space of the body both physical and psychological, through textile production, garment manipulation, and performance.

Beyond the studio, my research consists of occupying various phases of the commercial fashion chain- from design and production, to sales and marketing, and extending to archiving and curation.

The culmination of these experiences enables me to develop models of operation, processes, and build a network of resources in order to realize larger projects and collaborations.

At this capacity, my role as an artist is to construct a different kind of fabric--one of ideas and people. I become the thread--mediator, connector, facilitator.
