I M Jensen: works and projects

Interstitial space

Life, work and art are entangled. Major strands are art & science processes, and the history of certain people and buildings. Some work is interactive so that participants become part of the art. Lines, material properties and sculptural space are also important. Sometimes colour intervenes, and found or ready-made objects may be incorporated. Sometimes the strands twist together, at others they unravel.

Fluid Mosaic I investigates overlaps between art and science, where participants contemplate and rearrange words and phrases to form a membrane boundary model. Fluid Mosaic II looked at science and religion in the same way.

Interstitial Space uses sculptural methods for an ecological investigation into hidden habitats on a rocky seashore. Journey into Space exploited this imagery to invite viewers to participate by imagining a fantasy journey and tracing in silver its path across a collaborative landscape.

Lone Soldier marks the passage of one of many small creatures that have contributed to scientific research. Husks records the dried remains of small arthropods whose journeys ended on dusty windowsills. Tattooed Fox marks the passage of a fox from life in a wood through storage and garden burial to exhibited object adorned with flowers, fungi and animals from its environment. Poker Dice was made for an Olympic Ideals exhibition: its inspiration from talpid knucklebones points to the effect of chance on our best intentions. Live Trap looks threatening but was devised to spare small lives.

Curation Play invites the viewer to become a temporary curator and exert personal influence on gallery style. Hot Air was a community project addressing participation in exhibitions, which in turn led to Hopes and Dreams. Interface explores both interpersonal distance and the process of drawing.

Most Hidden Child addressed the way disability can conceal someone in collective family memory. White Road Blue Skies is a family history archive including WWII diaries and correspondence touching on aerial combat, imprisonment, a long march, middle eastern events, many aircraft and a tempestuous romance. Air Blanket springs from this.

CXR is a portrait of Central Saint Martins' Charing Cross Road site shown by the traces left by generations of students. An ongoing project with David Peacock documents over five hundred years of history of Padworth Manor House. The Keep is a new and developing study
