JAMFACTORY ICON 2022
JESSICA LOUGHLIN:
OF LIGHT
JamFactory’s ICON series celebrates the achievements of South Australia’s most influential visual artists working in craft-based media. Jessica Loughlin is one of Australia’s most internationally acclaimed glass artists and is renowned for her highly innovative technical approach to kilnformed glass. She creates ethereal kilnformed glass artworks that explore her fascination with the beauty of emptiness and her extensive research into light and space. She takes her artistic cues from the vast, flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia and is particularly drawn to the inherent quietness and stillness of the land. A studio glass artist for over twenty-five years, Loughlin has dedicated her practice to the pursuit of capturing the transient qualities of light and the quiet sense of contemplation it provokes in the viewer.
JamFactory Icon Jessica Loughlin: of light is a JamFactory touring exhibition assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
Jessica Loughlin acknowledges the support of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet through an Arts South Australia Grant.

KUNMANARA CARROLL:
NGAYLU NYANGANYI NGURA WINKI
(I CAN SEE ALL THOSE PLACES)
JamFactory’s annual Icon exhibition celebrates the achievements of South Australia’s most influential visual artists working in craft-based media. Concerned with passing on cultural knowledge Luritja, Pintupi and Pitjantjatjara artist Kunmanara Carroll’s paternal homeland was an unwavering source of inspiration and the recurring subject within his work. Based in Pukatja and working from Ernabella Arts, Mr Carroll's captivating paintings and ceramics merge his deep knowledge of country with his beautifully intricate yet minimalist style.
