Jackie Winsor's sculptures are so sober, deliberate, and palpably saturated with experience that it is not surprising to learn that her artistic output to date has been relatively small. [Her] sometimes extraordinary interventions come not from a desire for spectacle, but, rather, from an obsession with her experiential interaction with her objects-with incorporating the process while nevertheless retaining their quite palpable holistic essences.
Winsor selectively burns, explodes, braids, paints, wraps, knots, piles, gilds, coils, nails, and gouges her sculptures, all the while maintaining, and even enhancing, their inherent dignity and integrity.
In my childhood I was as familiar with a plumb and square as I was with oatmeal. This early engagement with construction shaped my artistic journey, allowing me to interact directly with materials.
Her careful, cogent works possess a grounding evidence of their facture that sets them apart from the typically sleek, industrial-looking work of her Minimalist peers.
