Jo Deeley creates abstract structural designs using a variety of techniques and textures. The juxtaposition of a contemporary medium and style with traditional methods such as knitting, plaiting, weaving and knotting, give Jo’s work a complexity and depth which make it extremely engaging visually.
Sketchbooks play an important part in Jo’s process and final pieces are often a direct reaction to images and research recorded in them. The sketches can be informed by man-made structures and buildings or naturally occurring constructions and patterns.
She is also an advocate of being driven by the particular technique she is using at any one time; her chosen process can dictate the direction in which a piece goes as it is being made.
