An artist’s catalogue featuring bizarre and surreal creations from the imagination of Jill Tegan Doherty.
This is the first fundraising campaign from the artist Jill Tegan Doherty. The money is being raised in order to print 200 copies of her catalogue, featuring artworks from 2017-2020, texts that provide an extra insight into her work and excitedly a selection of her poems, their debut release to the public. The foreword has been written by acclaimed writer and art critic, Estelle Hoy. You have the chance to support this worthy cause, and can take advantage of an early bird offer, in which you can scoop up your copy of The Soft Centre of Bone at a discounted rate.
Doherty was born in Bristol, England in 1983 and studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design, part of the London Institute. She now lives and works in Berlin, Germany, since 2011. Physical instability surfaces in Doherty’s work through an almost playful act, pronounced by fusing humans and animals in unexpected landscapes. Animals are used as metaphorical masks, uncovering personal and social undercurrents. Walking the line between fantasy, realism and abstraction, the metaphysical, ethereal, conscious, and unconscious states of being, Doherty unites the field of nature with our human nature. Effortlessly shifting between mediums and materials, Doherty, primarily a painter, also moves into sculpture, installation, performance, drawing and etching.
Doherty has been working on the production of the book for the past 7 months, and it’s now complete. She wishes to work with a firm based in Berlin, Ausdruck, to take this long awaited catalogue to print. She now needs your help in order to help raise the funds to cover these costs. The campaign will be launched on Kickstarter, where an array of thoughtful rewards from her artist’s catalogue are on offer for her supporters. Take a dive into the curious metaphysical world of Jill Tegan Doherty, where her work acts as a mirror, encouraging us to look deeper inside ourselves, and a catalyst for our imaginations to soar.
Any pledge from you will go a long way in helping this catalogue reach fruition.
“My work unveils the tension of opposites, the inescapable duality of existence: love-hate, death-life, magnificent-grotesque, light-dark, but it’s also a pilgrimage into what lies between these polarities.” Jill Tegan Doherty
