Jackie Sarah Brown makes graphite drawings that transform objects, fabric, and architecture into sites of longing and impossibility. Her work constructs visual systems with their own internal logic, where space answers to feeling rather than function, and objects carry the weight of absence.
Working primarily in graphite, she builds tightly framed, compositionally restrained images rooted in emotional tone and spatial absurdity. Her background in interactive art and illustration informs her sense of structure, narrative, and play. Past work includes a residency at Fabrica (Italy) and collaborations with Google, NIAD Art Center, and 826 Valencia. She lives and works in the Bay Area.
