The weaving process continues to be the central part to Jodie's work and is always what drives her development. Jodie plans each vessel quite logically and mathematically, she weaves the sheet into a pattern piece, then repeatedly hammers and anneals the woven metal to create her desired form.
Jodie has experimented with Traditional Japanese metal colouring and heat treatment methods during her new 'Vessel' collection to gain further understanding and control over the beautiful reds and orange colours she desires.
Jodie’s intention for all her pieces is to both intrigue and to be questioned by the viewer. She hopes you become captivated by these objects and see something new from every angle.
