JASMINE CADENHEAD

Jasmine Cadenhead uses both her background as Trauma Therapist and interests in biology to inform her work equally. Her work explores the interplay between human memory and the Earth’s enduring records of time. Using materials such as water lines, natural pigments, and sediment layers, she create tangible markers that echo nature’s precise chronicle. Inspired by her Canadian First Nations’ inuksuk—stone landmarks used for navigation and storytelling—these sculptures transform fragmented human recollections into physical forms, emphasizing the contrast between our shifting perceptions of time and the unyielding records embedded in the natural world.
Just as landscapes bear imprints of erosion and renewal, the work capture fleeting impressions, deepening or fading over time like recollections in the mind. This technique parallels the layered nature of this sculptural practice, where fused rock, hand-cast eco resin, and charred wood form stratified records of experience. By blending these processes, Jasmine investigates how memory—both human and geological—can be imprinted, preserved, and transformed.
