Jayne invites viewers to embrace their own living experiences of being and wearing a body, to connect and explore perceptions, to seek a balance between nature and technology. She locates her practice through the interplay of lived body experiences, representation, and modes of engaging with and of the body.
With her body and digital technologies, she experiments with ways to capture, speculate, and express temporality and dimensionality across 2D, 3D and 4D. She does so through ‘phygital’ (physical and digital) methods. By integrating digital technologies with traditional creative mediums, Jaynes processes and outcomes are pieces aiming to be both visually striking and conceptually rich, to provoke mindful moments, to pause and consider our temporal, transforming bodies, across fashion, art, technology and as part of nature.
Her phygital approach allows her to explore the transient nature of human existence and the impact of digital advancements on our understanding of time and space. Jayne’s journey is marked by a quest for innovation and experimentation. She is committed to pushing the limits of her practice, seeking new ways to express the complexities of the human experience.
She connects with participants through workshops, exhibitions, and interactive projects. Her initiatives invite people to explore fashion as a means of expressing individuality and connection with others, and challenging traditional notions of the cultural body.
Jaynes projects have explored themes including body image, body change experiences, disease, and body difference through multi-disciplinary research. Her projects include working with SME and established international businesses, third sector and health organisations. Jaynes research includes academic and public engagement activities (UK & South Korea). Her practice has been exhibited in the UK (Manchester Design & Craft Centre) and internationally (Bunka Gallery – Tokyo, Japan).
Jaynes draws upon over twenty years of Design & Product Development experience in the Fashion Industry, including Global Fashion Digital Solutions. She feels fortunate to encompass knowledge of working internationally across market levels & supply chains to underpin approaches to teaching, research and practice.
She is currently undertaking a Practice Based PhD titled ‘The Phygital Mannequin: Temporalities of a Torso’
