Jamie North

Jamie North (born 1971) is an Australian landscape sculptural artist known for blending cast concrete with native Australian plants. North practices in Sydney and has exhibited nationally and internationally. He has created works for the 20th Biennale of Sydney: The Future is Already Here - It's Just Not Evenly Distributed, whilst also pursuing public art through instillations such as Ensemble (2020) for Queensland Ballet's Thomas Dixon Centre.^[1] He is known for his innovative sculptural works that explore the intersection of nature, industry, and urbanisation.

North is currently represented by The Renshaws' Gallery (Brisbane, Australia) and was previously represented by Sarah Cottier Gallery (Sydney, Australia).

Early life

Jamie North was born in Belmont, NSW, Australia. His family worked in the steel and coal mining industries, which has profoundly influenced is choice of materials and subject matter.^[2]

After graduating from Swansea High School, North went on to practice photography.^[3] Despite not having a formal art training^[4], North won the 2013 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) leading to a residency in Detroit.^[5] ^[6] As an artist, North has also undertaken residencies at Centre for Contemporary Art Research Programme at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and at Chretzeturm Artist in Residence, Stein am Rhein, Switzerland.^[7]

Art practice

North's artistic practice often involves incorporating concrete, industrial waste and living plants to create living sculptures that participate in the surrounding environment.^[8] His sculptural style is often characterised by a deliberate erosion of geometric forms. The resulting forms are often a naturalistic sculptural style that includes the creation of micro-habitats from which plant life can grow.

North's work revolves around themes of ecological sustainability, decay, and the resilience of nature in urban environments. He is particularly interested in exploring the potential for regrowth and transformation in spaces that have been affected by human intervention. ^[9] ^[10]
