Tiana Jefferies

Tiana Jefferies is a spatial artist working predominantly in sculpture and installation. Her practice is driven by the entangled relationships between people, architecture and climate. Shaped by the locality and specificity of place, her works emerge from experimentation with camping equipment, traditional sculptural materials, and found building items. Informed by intersections of queer theory and ecocriticism, Jefferies desires to evoke an emotional ambiance through theatrical suggestions of structures and shelters. Populated with camp materials, ideas and fantasies, Jefferies’ installations delight in ironic slippages and glimmer with joyful degeneracy. These temporary shelters imagine sites of play and pleasure, allowing new unarticulated worlds to unfold.
