Pathways Home: Poppy Jackson Limited Edition Collection

Date: Tuesday 03 Dec 2024

Following on from the year-long project Pathways Home as part of LADA’s Live Art in Rural UK commissioning programme, Poppy Jackson will be selling a collection of limited editions and original artworks exclusively through Unbound until 30 May 2025.

The Pathways Home collection highlights the images and themes that have shaped Poppy’s work over the last 15 years, leading to her most recent performance, Tower (2024). Commissioned by LADA as the culmination of Pathways Home, Tower unfolded through agricultural buildings and land set in the meadows of Suffolk, to explore the political potency of the artist’s body within a rural setting.

The collection sheds a light on the different material processes that accompany Poppy’s live work, including linocuts, monoprints, gouache on found boards, direct prints on aluminium Dibond, Fine Art Prints, and one drawing hand-finished with blood – the work that inspired Poppy’s iconic 2015-16 roof apex performances.

The collection includes the artworks: Tower VII / Tower X / Site (original) / Site (Fine Art Prints) / Flag / Head V (Red Feelers) / Hay Barn /Site (print on aluminium Dibond) / SUMMIT

All works are sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.

About the artist

Poppy Jackson makes work that explores the female body as an autonomous zone and an inherently political site. Her practice spans performance, painting, sculpture and printmaking. Public space and architecture in relation to the body are key themes for the artist. Motherhood has activated a focus on the politics of the pregnant/maternal body within the rural landscape in which she lives with her two young daughters.

Poppy gained a BA (Hons) from Dartington College of Arts and MA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and has received Arts Council England and British Council awards. Presented across the UK, Europe and America, her work has excited discussion worldwide about the body in art, and has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent, ArtReview, BBC 2 and Radio 4. She has delivered lectures at The Royal College of Art, School of the Arts Institute of Chicago, NHS Hospitals Bristol and The Royal College of Psychiatrists. She is an Associate Artist of ]performance s p a c e [, London.
