Over the past year Jo has started working with images of bindweed - an undesirable, marginalised plant, which grows in an anti-clockwise direction - and 19th Century photographic portraits of female patients to explore the concept of crip time, a theory at the intersection of feminist, disability, and queer studies which elaborates how the disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill experience time and space differently to able-bodied/ minded people. As part of this new direction in her practice Jo is working with a collective of artists who all live with unseen conditions.
Jo‘s work is held in public and private collections and is exhibited internationally. In 2012 she was awarded the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Grange Prize (now the AIMIA/AGO Photography Prize), Canada’s highest award for excellence in international photography, for her ongoing bodies of work The Refusal and Other Spaces. Jo is best known for these collaborative works with show dogs and gymnasts, which gently probe how cultural ideas of perfection shape personal and national identities, as well as social and political systems.
