With
a foundation in Architecture, Jasna moved to Canada from Yugoslavia in
1994. First to Montreal, studying at Concordia University and later to
Vancouver where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Emily
Carr Institute of Art & Design in 2000.
Jasna
delicately alters the clay surface to create richly textured collages,
which explore memory and experience much like a diary or a sketchbook.
Jasna tells a story through the use of symbols, text and numbers as she
intuitively combines image, texture, form and colour to contrast concrete,
deliberate imagery with the organic nature of the clay, mimicking the
natural struggle between these two things in our world today.
Jasna
has participated in gallery shows throughout Canada including a solo show
at the Gallery of B.C. Ceramics and group shows in L.A. and Toronto. She
continues to work in a variety of artistic fields, using clay as a basis
to explore not only gallery installations, but also fashion and interior
design. Her work is featured in the recent Lark Book Transfer Imagery
on Clay and in HGTV television series.
