Patched by Jackie Partridge has been an ongoing installation and photography project since 2017 where map paper (made from maps of places I have been to) is embedded into trees where the bark naturally peels away as an act of offering or mending.

In 2018, I was awarded a grant from the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund to create my book Patched which included nature poems about trees and my series of Patched as coloured photographs.

I feel for places.
We walk all over them.
We stomp on them.
We forget about them.
Rarely do we visit.
And when we do -
We drop by unannounced.
Select poem from Patched book by Jackie Partridge.

Patched by Jackie Partridge Video of Installation (Sped Up):
I created a large sheet of map paper on a vacuum table that sucks out the water from the pulp on my artist residency in 2018 and the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York. I then used a spray bottle of water to dampen the paper and turn it back into to pulp to apply it onto the tree.
