About

Jo Clements lives and works in Manchester, UK.

My current artistic practice and most recent work have been immersed in the exploration of connectivity, neural networks, and artificial intelligence, delving into how hierarchical values are ascribed to different forms of intelligence—a process frequently laden with biases rooted in gender, class, and race. A recurrent theme in my work is the tension between the handmade and the mechanized or artificial, a dialogue that continually shapes my creative expression. 

My practice spans the realms of sculpture and film, where I interrogate narrative and sensory responses through a distinctive visual language. My films serve as a conduit for my ongoing investigation into the interplay of text and image, striving to forge new connections and insights into our complex positionalities within the world. 

Frequently sensual, tantalisingly tactile and often tongue in cheek my work exudes an ambiguous mix of the serious and the absurd.
