Jodi Le Bigre, a Canadian artist based in Scotland, works across printmaking, painting, and sculpture. Printmaking plays an outsized role in her work as it is intimately connected to its own historical forms, publishing, and the dissemination of knowledge, providing a clear pathway to the concepts and ideologies that have shaped our current ways of inhabiting the world. Her work is informed by investigations into scientific thought and the disciplinary history of natural history, as well as by invented concepts such as ‘natural resources’ and ‘wilderness’. Le Bigre is inclined toward the hand-formed and the potential that this manner of recording and communicating has for revealing the subjectivity of encounters between our inner and outer worlds.
Graduate of Glasgow School of Art, Le Bigre has been invited on residencies across Europe and has been awarded such prizes as the Royal Scottish Academy’s John Kinross Award (Italy), the Society of Scottish Artists’ Eichstätt Lithography Award (Germany), and the SSA Engramme Printmaking Exchange (Québec). She regularly exhibits work in the UK and internationally and her work is held in private and public collections, including the Royal Scottish Academy, Dumfries House, Iraq National Library, Universitätsbibliothek Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, and Herron Art Library at Purdue University.
