Read MoreSediment -Art Installation by Jackie Partridge
Sediment art installation by Jackie Partridge was started in 2017. I started paper making in 2015 where I was working as a teaching assistant in a paper making class during my MFA. See some behind the scenes look at a current project and learn about the process of paper making below!
Sediment is an ongoing art installation since 2017 where I form sheets of handmade paper with blue jeans from my grandfather. Currently there are about 300 pieces of handmade paper.
My grandfather is a retired farmer who sold the family owned century farm in 2012.
The paper acts as a memory and are stacked on the floor like waves in the water.
This piece is inspired by the artwork Remnants that also used old farming clothes belonging to my grandfather.
Learn how to make paper out of denim here! This explains the process for making this artwork.
In order to make the denim paper the blue jeans must be collected rinsed with water and cut into tiny 1”x1” squares. After the squares are cut they are put into a beater that grinds the natural fibres into tiny blue threads.
The paper making process- denim pulp
After the pulp is beaten down to tiny threads (taking around 4 hours or longer) The pulp is added into a vat of water and a mould and deckle are used to create sheets of paper.
This is the mould and deckle used to create the circle sheets of paper

A Needle in a Haystack - Textile Art Installation by Jackie Partridge
A Needle in a Haystack by Jackie Partridge
wall piece: 4.5'x 4 floor piece 3.3'x 3', found fabric, sewing, 2015-2016
Braided strips of found fabric create an abstracted hay bale referencing the traditional rag rug. The two hay bales are attached together with a long braid like umbilical cord connecting generations. This textile artwork was created by Jackie Partridge in 2015-2016 while I was completing my MFA at Concordia University.
This artwork is inspired by my family heritage of farming and my matriarchal line. Both of my grandparents were farmers and my mom’s parents owned a family century owned farm.
Growing up, I had 8 grandmothers including great-grandmothers and great-great grandmothers. My matriarchal line was very skilled in sewing, embroidery, knitting and crochet which really inspired me to pursue textile art and study it during my MFA.
