About

Jordan Carr works in oil paint, ink, and pencil to develop both representational and abstract imagery.

Formal study at Gordon College (Art, Painting Concentration) established her current residence in the Boston area. Immersion in the liberal arts with a classical emphasis on rendering the human figure was instrumental in shaping her theory and practice, which value the integrity of line, the process of layering, and honest expressions of feeling.

Her current work favors botanical forms as an approach to embodiment and emotional landscape. This relationship is used as both a focused subject matter and an expressive medium in it itself, where the physical structures of plant and human life, each of which offer the potential to interchange with and symbolize the other, enable her visuals to observe, emote, and physically participate in the complexities of lived experience.
