The debut solo exhibition for interdisciplinary artist Elle Jones, A Sweet Fix uses tactile materials to explore the concepts of traditional femininity & perfection and the lack of understood identity that can be a result of relationship or gender-based trauma. The work was made in response to grooming culture and the infantilization of women as strategies of social control—mechanisms that attempt to preserve male-centered power by shrinking and softening female agency. Elle’s material research and the conducive nature of the medium as a bridge between artist and emotion is exhibted via sensorial investigation and an artmaking ideology that centers process, concept and experimentation above aesthetic.
