Goodnight Moon

2024

JAX's "Goodnight Moon" is a mixed media sculpture that combines braided hair, wood, and ceramic figurines to create an intimate domestic scene. The work employs unconventional materials, particularly the use of human hair, to imbue the piece with personal narrative and tactile vulnerability. By juxtaposing fragile ceramic forms with the organic texture of braided hair, the artist explores themes of domesticity, memory, and the intersection of the handmade and the personal.
