Jodie Carey

Jodie Carey is showing new work Still, Life. at the Alexia Goethe Gallery, 7 Dover Street, London W1 until 21 June. Her work focuses on the traditions of ritual, artifice and mortality in contemporary Western society. The show will feature shrines that herald both the ritual of mourning and the intranscience of life, playing on the perception that traditional memorials have an opposite effect to their intent: "There is a perversity in that once you commemorate something, it is far easier to walk away. It's not lest we forget, it's more lest we remember." Jodie Carey
