Class of 2020: Jemma Jelf

BA Fine Art, MIMA School of Art and Design, Middlesbrough.

Jemma Jelf is interested in how we represent ourselves sexually and the way that attitudes to this are determined by factors such as gender, age, sexual orientation, background and religion. She makes work in various mediums, including sculpture, printmaking, photography and performance, often using recycled or found materials. She says: “By combining [the materials], I attempt to transform ordinary matter into something unexpected and thought provoking.”

Degree show: A website promoting the work of BA Fine Art, MIMA School of Art and Design, Middlesbrough, students is currently being built, while a physical show for BA and MA students is planned in the new year. www.tees.ac.uk/schools/mima
