The soft gaze from a structured face offers a god-like aura while protective horns curl outward in an organic, sea-shell spiral, showing the strength, fertility, and protection traditionally seen within the ram. Formed in clay and cast in plaster, the traditional European sculptural style imparts a heroic and divine quality to the ram and references the sheep’s lineage and introduction to Australia. In our Australian context, the ram is a conversation rather than a symbol. The environment, our colonial and settler history, pastoralism, genetic breeding, ethics, and animal welfare are central to this dialogue. In Australia, there are approximately 78.75 million sheep. This complex ecology plays a significant role in Australian culture, but we often overlook the gaze or soul of the animal, which is frequently viewed merely as a product. 'Ram God' serves as a reminder of the rural hierarchies, relationships, and perspectives that we maintain with this domestic creature, as well as the wider, more-than-human world. https://jessieeisenhauer.com/From-My-Mouth-Into-Your-Lungs Thu, 30 Dec 2021 01:47:12 +0000 artist website https://jessieeisenhauer.com/From-My-Mouth-Into-Your-Lungs From My Mouth Into Your Lungs silk, thread, airbrushed acrylic Varied dimensions2021 <img width="4160" height="5831" width_o="4160" height_o="5831" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38e56da38bbd42242cdace0125d314f7c7dbf785b26d1c6796ba7795fe045fe8/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_EDITED_3_V1.jpg" data-mid="169382862" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38e56da38bbd42242cdace0125d314f7c7dbf785b26d1c6796ba7795fe045fe8/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_EDITED_3_V1.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/595bcd538b430407d354a784cb0d36a9a1a8c4a5b4a6afcc67eb35dd652dc3b2/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_EDITED_14.jpg" data-mid="156627974" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/595bcd538b430407d354a784cb0d36a9a1a8c4a5b4a6afcc67eb35dd652dc3b2/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_EDITED_14.jpg" /> <img width="2969" height="4032" width_o="2969" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64c044a568bc7eab2fa32a33df328c6c6e684723b364b9c761311545918c98ce/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_IPHONE_EDITED_3.jpg" data-mid="169382993" border="0" data-scale="47" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64c044a568bc7eab2fa32a33df328c6c6e684723b364b9c761311545918c98ce/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_IPHONE_EDITED_3.jpg" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="2895" height="4032" width_o="2895" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c48c6cbdcb34c97203f67f630ec8f7154c6be995661fbf6946333768d3de3f9d/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_IPHONE_EDITED_1.jpg" data-mid="156628203" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c48c6cbdcb34c97203f67f630ec8f7154c6be995661fbf6946333768d3de3f9d/CAPSTONE_2021_SELECTS_IPHONE_EDITED_1.jpg" /> From My Mouth Into Your Lungs materialises a gesture of breath. Amorphous layers of airbrushed silk are suspended above the ground—between aliveness and lifelessness—drawing on the intimacy and entanglement of air. This invisible substance floating between us is exchanged between organisms and humans in a reciprocal cycle that provides the means to survival. Both grounded and 'heavenly', the focus of breath draws us into our body while the air escapes and carries our words and substance across landscapes and into the ether, reminding us of the endless and expansive ways we are connected.&nbsp;A rich medium rather than empty space, the air provokes a wide scope for seeing as these sensuous qualities become perceptible. Using air as a medium, soft airbrushed colour is caught on the surface of luminescent white silk. Hushed words that reference bodily, vegetal and bacterial elements fall across the layers and dissolve into space. Transparent panels are stitched together creating unity - a lightness as well as draped density. The fabric folds, seamlines, and markings show the interior of a corporeal shape,&nbsp;taking up space and disrupting the forgetting of the invisible medium of air. https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Flesh-Disintegrate-and-Petals-Bloom-From-My-Throat Mon, 21 Apr 2025 05:06:13 +0000 artist website https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Flesh-Disintegrate-and-Petals-Bloom-From-My-Throat Flesh Disintegrate and Petals Bloom From My Throat Unbleached cotton, chlorophyll, earth pigment, cotton thread, brass. 970mmW x1380mmH 2022 <img width="2597" height="3629" width_o="2597" height_o="3629" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5851ce82775c2fbd10072a5240a94f6aad3906192e7bb909f9bfbd67c338d0bb/JE_2023_ARTWORK_FleshDisintegratePetalsBloomFromMyThroat_FRONT_WEB_1.jpg" data-mid="230434541" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5851ce82775c2fbd10072a5240a94f6aad3906192e7bb909f9bfbd67c338d0bb/JE_2023_ARTWORK_FleshDisintegratePetalsBloomFromMyThroat_FRONT_WEB_1.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/befeb74abd675f991bae2565fb0c2c2eb31b9a588fdbf29c0849cd85451884e1/IMG_3987.jpg" data-mid="230434606" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/befeb74abd675f991bae2565fb0c2c2eb31b9a588fdbf29c0849cd85451884e1/IMG_3987.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2607b3932e75605aa6cfc160a3e56189268dba2049d1ac7aeb0e249b16720c4/IMG_3229.jpg" data-mid="230434618" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2607b3932e75605aa6cfc160a3e56189268dba2049d1ac7aeb0e249b16720c4/IMG_3229.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b21cf73c1fa31687c7985cf28db5c724e99114affd563714240f62bdb11002b/IMG_3945.jpg" data-mid="230434620" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b21cf73c1fa31687c7985cf28db5c724e99114affd563714240f62bdb11002b/IMG_3945.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3bdd569265aeb72903dc69d5b57aaf0e010d31638742f041790e5efa5ae20134/IMG_3968.jpg" data-mid="230434681" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3bdd569265aeb72903dc69d5b57aaf0e010d31638742f041790e5efa5ae20134/IMG_3968.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05f0e36a650d82e6a468d7f39573b52d5c7e62222d1818b81c78c69f88235bba/IMG_3227.jpg" data-mid="230434688" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05f0e36a650d82e6a468d7f39573b52d5c7e62222d1818b81c78c69f88235bba/IMG_3227.jpg" /> Flesh Disintegrate and Petals Bloom From My Throat, is an incantation that possesses language and plants to form a ritual. Earth pigment scribes loud, thick handwritten words over a chlorophyll-soaked cloth. Destroyed and then transformed, a woven structure scrambles the verse and cuts the human voice to silence. The relationship between ritual speech and magical power is ancient technology between humans and plants. Like the Book of the Dead, these words are a tunnel to the afterlife, a metamorphosis that imagines aligning with the vegetal world. https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Ecosystem Tue, 17 Nov 2020 03:26:53 +0000 artist website https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Ecosystem Ecosystembrass, dirt, rock, seawater and charcoal2019 <img width="1725" height="1297" width_o="1725" height_o="1297" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b56fe345f7a1b0f7c4439a4d6e82323f0eabfd3704f3c5df1687df825603be6b/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_1_LANDSCAPE.jpg" data-mid="128439567" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b56fe345f7a1b0f7c4439a4d6e82323f0eabfd3704f3c5df1687df825603be6b/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_1_LANDSCAPE.jpg" /> <img width="1725" height="2314" width_o="1725" height_o="2314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87d4175f52c30c530b722fb648f391090f62ee722ba685c760d0ec0541d1897e/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_6.jpg" data-mid="90916258" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87d4175f52c30c530b722fb648f391090f62ee722ba685c760d0ec0541d1897e/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_6.jpg" /> <img width="1725" height="2314" width_o="1725" height_o="2314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dce1c677e5efc736dfcd4da7af0c95911c653d25bd31884cc4a9821302c16829/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_4.jpg" data-mid="90916166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dce1c677e5efc736dfcd4da7af0c95911c653d25bd31884cc4a9821302c16829/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_4.jpg" /> <img width="1725" height="2314" width_o="1725" height_o="2314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f628444abda022043a2d07e4647abbc9e8bee836933b233d3698d6312e5fb536/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_5.jpg" data-mid="90916196" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f628444abda022043a2d07e4647abbc9e8bee836933b233d3698d6312e5fb536/ECOSYSTEM_IMAGE_5.jpg" /> Ecosystem, holds raw elements from nature on brass platforms in an assemblage of dependant structural and convergent brass lines. The form explores the idea of material and immaterial connection within nature, as well as the fragility and weight of its supporting network. The rhythmic movement and exchange between the linear brass and organic substance relate to our individual connection to nature and our place within it. Natural materials are borrowed from the land (Gadigal/Sydney) and presented in partnership with a refined metal, giving significance to their meaning and worth as well as accentuating a contrast between what we consider to be precious and how we measure value. https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Sound-of-the-Void Thu, 03 Dec 2020 06:02:55 +0000 artist website https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Sound-of-the-Void Sound of the Voidscreen print,&nbsp; 790 x 1070mm 300gsm Hahnemühle2017 <img width="4000" height="2840" width_o="4000" height_o="2840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/defac6b9d1dd4e0b4e3b069d0b08b14d4d8ea9735badf21cf7f56479ec78da28/SOUNDOFTHEVOID_IMAGE_1.jpg" data-mid="90919543" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/defac6b9d1dd4e0b4e3b069d0b08b14d4d8ea9735badf21cf7f56479ec78da28/SOUNDOFTHEVOID_IMAGE_1.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2840" width_o="4000" height_o="2840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/423b0981c18da108c49d26590e953b13f3650da2d96984e5dec75b60d5e1abf5/SOUNDOFTHEVOID_IMAGE_2.jpg" data-mid="90919544" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/423b0981c18da108c49d26590e953b13f3650da2d96984e5dec75b60d5e1abf5/SOUNDOFTHEVOID_IMAGE_2.jpg" /> Sound of the void, materialises aural vibration through a 3D screen printing technique, that is combined with the resonating (live) sound that created the visual data. The work explores sound and image simultaneously, drawing connections between somatic (body) and psychic (mind) together. Exploring and documenting the metaphysical through an artistic dialogue that intersects science and physics brings an investigative approach to an otherwise ethereal subject matter. Opposite worlds connect through disparity, and the supernatural sits alongside science; the unseen and the physical. Just as sound and space artist, Bernhard Leitner explores the body as perceiving sound rather than just the ears, Sound of the Void, explores a similar notion. The physical body communicates through non-visual systems as vibrating fields are perceived as sound but also stand for deeper meanings with their formal symbolic and geometric structures. As Carl Jung describes, the circle is a symbol of the self. “It expresses the totality of the psyche in all it’s aspects including the relationship between man and the whole of nature”. The looping soundscape, like vibrations themselves, hold no boundaries but travel on a flux of spiraling repetition. Sound connects strongly to the visual universe yet holds it’s own sense of mass. Materialising the invisible becomes a dialogue for what we cannot see. https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Psychic-Trees-and-Circling-Geometries Mon, 21 Apr 2025 04:48:54 +0000 artist website https://jessieeisenhauer.com/Psychic-Trees-and-Circling-Geometries Psychic Trees and Circling GeometriesBrass and Tourmaline2017 <img width="1893" height="2543" width_o="1893" height_o="2543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e0b25e06c6150428e059ed92c81014a1ce57885e591feab0887f1bce7e19d69/JESSIE_EISENHAUER_RING_PORTRAIT.png" data-mid="230434407" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e0b25e06c6150428e059ed92c81014a1ce57885e591feab0887f1bce7e19d69/JESSIE_EISENHAUER_RING_PORTRAIT.png" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2991" height="1986" width_o="2991" height_o="1986" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1623d810feb37daeeb92c18d1a840aacc2000e23c7c53395a0261169741c1d1f/RINGS_IMG_3528.jpg" data-mid="230434531" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1623d810feb37daeeb92c18d1a840aacc2000e23c7c53395a0261169741c1d1f/RINGS_IMG_3528.jpg" /> <img width="2479" height="1984" width_o="2479" height_o="1984" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/192cb6d84dc38c55570d0a255f715ed4912c3fb0ee2cc44440b5051bafe6c5fd/IMG_3526.jpg" data-mid="245448705" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/192cb6d84dc38c55570d0a255f715ed4912c3fb0ee2cc44440b5051bafe6c5fd/IMG_3526.jpg" /> Hand-sculpted brass rings formed as vessels of power, inscribed with incantatory ramblings that trace gesture, time, and touch. Tourmaline functions as both material and signal; each stone holds a distinct energetic orientation. The works emerged through an intuitive making process shaped as much by material behaviour as by image or symbol. Early in their formation, associations surfaced with transformation objects and ritualised artefacts - including the symbolic language of Sailor Moon, where ornament becomes activation, and the decorative becomes operative.
