Jordan Kerwick was born in 1982, Melbourne, Australia. Lives and works between Daylesford and Melbourne, Australia.
« Raw. Worn. Beaten, but loved. Life, stripped bare. Amid the chaos of family life lies a feeling of safety and comfort that I try to replicate in my work. Drawing on my collection of imagery of cultural markings and people, places and things, I like to explore beauty in its most organic and real state; stripping back the layers to reveal a subject in its most truthful state.«

Jordan Kerwick est né en 1982 à Melbourne, Australie. Vit et travaille entre Daylesford et Melbourne, Australie.
« Brut. Usé. Battu, mais aimé. La vie, mise à nu. Au milieu du chaos de la vie familiale se trouve un sentiment de sécurité et de confort que j’essaie de reproduire dans mon travail. En puisant dans ma collection d’images de marques culturelles et de personnes, de lieux et de choses, j’aime explorer la beauté dans son état le plus organique et le plus réel, en enlevant les couches pour révéler un sujet dans son état le plus vrai. »
