Found Forest

Found Forest

Take a closer look and you will discover, in the dark nooks there’s beauty to uncover.
Find the maiden and her sailor, together, forever…
The little folk! They think they are ever so clever!
Lose yourself in the journey, the trees will guide you through.
Tread carefully and remember traveller, you can find yourself too.

I’ve always had to be thrifty in creating my art and what was initially and end to a means has become an adventure in conjuring beauty from the discarded. The magic of the forest comes from donated fabric and paint leftovers, treasures rescued from junk piles and recycled industrial materials like polystyrene, wire and cardboard packaging.

When someone told Jay J Sticks she needed a formal education to get anywhere in this world, she told them to get stuffed and started to create her own one. Her world is a realm of nature and magic combined with humour and heartbreak, like a well thought out fantasy cake that was left in the oven a bit too long while she was daydreaming. If this cake had a recipe, the ingredients list would probably tell you to gather some things that were discarded, donated or dropped, let them marinate in imagination sauce for a few years, add some paint, resin or clay, and then mix with some sort of special ingredient that you’ve never heard of but your nan probably knows where to get it.
