Jordan’s art is rooted in her exposure
to the vernacular art of the South, her studies in the applied arts, and in her
emersion in the contemporary art world of New York City. She recycles studio
scraps and found objects with post-consumer detritus to create what she calls
urban faux-folk art. Her recent sculptures start with a steel “drawing” that
forms negative spaces into which she pours polymer that catches an array of
found materials or inserts machine embroidered collages of garden imagery into
the plot-like voids.
