The ‘Bio Bloom Bioluminous’ paintings explore a sublime of the small and celebrate the life forces and light energies inherent in all things microscopic, sub-atomic and aquatic. Having grown up on the cliffs of Flinders, staring into the eye of Bass Strait, she is also deeply inspired by the life-giving waters of the sea and what inhabits them. What is happening on the inside of a crashing wave on a micro and macro level? Underwater fields of magical mysterious glowing creatures occupying ambiguous dark-lit spaces. Jacquelyn also references the blurred light or ‘bokeh’ of photography, dark-light of microscopic imagery, and all the image making documentary world of seeing life’s glow. Sea-life, nudibranchs, algae, bioluminescent organisms and miniscule cell growth, all these universes inspire and influence the pictorial spaces and inform her paintings.

‘Although my images allude to real things in the natural world, like sea-life, bioluminescent algae or pulsating atoms, these suggestions exist to act more as memory triggers for contemplation and connections to reference our place in the fragile natural world’.
