Clouds Installation
Clouds is an installation of 150 found doilies by Jackie Partridge that have been embedded with poured abaca pulp. This installation was created in 2016 while I was studying my Master of Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal.
I experimented with this installation by testing out different lighting and playing with different perspectives and camera angles when documenting this installation. This installation took over 4 hours to complete.
Next time I would present this work I would create pillows on the floor to invite viewers to lay down and look up at the clouds.
I created this work with found doilies and I poured on abace pulp. I placed the doilies in the paper press to squeeze out the extra water. Then I let them dry flat for 24 hours. I hung the doilies with different lengths of thread attached to rods on the ceiling. I would love to continue to create thousands of these and hang them in a larger venue.
Doilies are a symbol of history and domesticity. I see them as floating ghosts of all the grandmothers I grew up with when I was younger. When I was born I had 8 grandmothers including great-grandmothers and great-great grandmothers. Each doily is special and unique. Some are colourful and others are plain. Some are intricate and detailed and some are simple and plain.
The floating doilies were hung with thread cut at various lengths to look like floating clouds in the sky.
These are made with vintage doilies collected from thrift stores, garage sales and my grandmothers.
There are still pieces available from this installation in my art shop - you can check them out here!
These vintage crochet doilies look beautiful framed in a white or wooden frame!

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
