Jasmine Bradbury’s first London solo exhibition Shed a Layer highlights the underpinnings of life’s monotony. Delicate or strong, malleable or rigid, comforting or banal - these sculptures are full of contradictions that explore feelings of stability and instability through their substance and structure.
The balancing of material solidity and fragility uses multiple layers of industrial materials including plaster, lead and resin, to express an emotional facade that smothers the underlying everyday anxieties. Bradbury chooses forms such as the pillow, bath or mattress to juxtapose the illusion of domestic familiarities and their relation to the self.
