Artist Statement

Jayne King is a Chicago-born Jewish artist and recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA 2022), where they spent their time focusing on ceramics, object collection, and book making. Their work has been exhibited nationally at James Watrous Gallery, Sweetwater Center for the Arts, Povos Gallery, the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection, the Bridgeport Art Center, and Woman Made Gallery. King was a 2022 ArtAxis+Haystack Fellowship recipient, a 2022 Chicago Artist Coalition SPARK Grant recipient, 2023 Luminarts Finalist, the 2023 Old Town Arts Fest Inaugural Emerging Artist, and is currently a long-term artist in residence at The Digs Chicago.

My work aims to encourage conversations about the malleable nature of memory, haunted and holy spaces, and the chain of living connection through the reconsideration of the heirloom object. The overarching themes of my practice include the fundamental desire to safeguard personal narrative and nostalgia, the histories held by personal artifacts, and the ways in which cultural traditions inform how I’ve come to understand my relationship to my family’s past and my consequential present. I’m especially fascinated by the concept of heritage and its many forms, including not only special items, but one's body and circumstances as well.
