Outlook8studio

I built Outlook8studio studio 24 years ago using recycled salvaged materials except for the main structural areas. My brother a carpenter and friends built the bottom room. I welded all the inside frames from new pieces of leftover metal offcuts from a refrigeration factory and recycled double glazed supermarket fridge doors for windows. I completed the top floor of the studio and outside cladding myself. It’s now become a kind of rustic looking structure over the years that sits quite comfortably in the landscape. A bit like an old Aussie shearing shed in a paddock.

Jenny Davis is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Over a practice spanning almost four decades, she has worked across painting, sculpture, textiles, artist books, collage, assemblage, photography, video, and installation. Grounded in abstraction, her work explores memory, place, inheritance, and material histories through intuitive, process-led methods of making.

Using paint, found objects, salvaged materials, antique textiles, and weathered surfaces, Davis investigates the traces left by people, places, and time. Through acts of layering, excavation, repair, and reconstruction, her work considers how histories persist, shift, and find new forms of expression.
