Jordan Mitchell-Fletcher

I acknowledge and pay respect to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the Country on which I live and work, and their Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty never ceded.

Jordan Mitchell-Fletcher (b. 1993, Melbourne) is absorbed in the exploratory nature inherent to a ritualistic studio practice and the detritus it collates. Delving into the foundations associated with drawing, installation and basic sculptural principles, Mitchell-Fletcher’s practice is diverse and deeply focused. Preoccupied with observations gathered from everyday actions such as walking, she indexes the imperfection of the hand whilst exploring the rigidity of pattern-making and abstraction. Her process-led practice oscillates between calculated decision-making and surrendering control, toying with the material alchemy and unforgiving unpredictability of ceramic firing, coupled with the discipline of graphite and paper.

Mitchell-Fletcher completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at Monash University (2015). She has exhibited in various solo and group shows both locally and internationally, including ReadingRoom (2024; 2022); Shepparton Art Museum (2023); University of Southern Queensland (2023); and Haydens (2019).
