Centred on the futile search for certainty of understanding and perceived hierarchies of knowledge, artist Jo Clements’ humorous re-imaginings and re-appropriations playfully explore the complex relationship between putative information and experiential understanding through sculpture, film and installation. She draws upon archives, social media, mathematical formulas, art history and other established sources of knowledge to create work that questions accepted facts as markers of truth. Frequently sensual and often tongue in cheek the work exudes an ambiguous mix of the serious and the absurd.
