Jazz Grant (b. 1992 London UK) lives and works in Margate, Kent. Grant’s practice is grounded in collage and stop animation. Her artistic craft was originally honed through studying Menswear at the London College of Fashion (2014 - 2016) where the non digital pattern making and compositional work evolved from fabric, and onto paper. 

Each aspect of the collage is carefully sourced/photographed, printed, scanned and individually hand-cut. Through an intuitive method of curation/elimination and placement, the piece can start to form an aesthetic and meaningful conclusion that visually satisfies the original ideation of the work.

Creating in collage produces work that is tactile in process and outcome. Based on a composition in consideration of space, colour, material and theme -  through elements personally shot by Jazz, and/or archival sourced imagery. Each texture and grain celebrated, and forming important layers and visual stories within the piece.

Drawing on her British & Jamaican heritage, Grant explores the construction of memory, roots and identity. Her art is a mixture of what’s to come, and what’s come before. How all these avenues have shaped her personal history and will continue to guide the future.
