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

I am excited to announce that I am a part of a group of two other artists showing exhibitions at the O Gallery on 44 Gaukel St. in Kitchener, ON, Canada.
I will be showing work I have curated for a theme of Fields. This work includes past work of my hand dyed, hand embroidered dish cloths that are beautifully framed and work of my sewn thread line drawings embedded in abaca sheets of handmade paper that are for sale.
Fields is an abstract representation of aerial views of farmlands. I have grown up close to farming and fields and have visually seen the landscape change over time and become more developed.
The exhibition is on view from January 15-March 6, 2020.
