Employing a variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, and textiles, she bridges psychological processes with archetypal imagery, illuminating the transformative potential of the human psyche.

Hot Flash is a solo exhibition of ceramic sculpture, animation and drawing by Melanie Jackson, that brings together two bodies of recent work, Rouge Flambé and Spekyng Rybawdy, in a pair of installations across Exeter Phoenix’s two gallery spaces. Together, they present us with an assembly of conceptual nomads, drawn from medieval sculptures of dissent; to incendiary (colonial) trading histories; to a fascination with technoscience’s visions and chimeras.

The Devil’s Helix considers a reinterpretation of fossils of the past while questioning the conclusions made of the marks we leave from the future.
