Jessica Akerman

Jessica Akerman makes objects and images that bring together social narratives, pattern and colour. She explores systems, structures and histories and how these are communicated. Themes include: the staging of power dynamics in national identity, women’s working lives and military engineering. Her first solo show was at ArcadeCampfa, Cardiff in 2019, and she presents new work at Cork Midsummer, Ireland in 2021. Her work is currently on show in the Centre of Gravity exhibition at Soapworks, along with a collaborative piece with Frea Buckler.
