Jolie Booth is a contemporary sculptor and installation artist.
Jolie Booth’s art practice sits at the intersection of sculpture and performance. She is deeply interested in creating performance objects, or sculptures that come to life through interaction. Her artwork centers the relationships between human and object, and how meaning, function, and value shift when objects are touched, worn, or altered. Booth’s practice is deeply exploratory and process-driven.
Central to Booth’s art practice are two guiding principles: first, the belief that sculptures should not have a front or back. She strives to ensure that every side of her work is equally considered, offering fresh perspectives to the viewer from all angles. In this sense, she treats her sculptures like human bodies, asking questions like, “What would this object look like with a tattoo?” to inspire new ways to adorn and animate her creations.
Secondly, Booth challenges the traditional role of the pedestal. Rejecting the conventional use of a white box, she sees the pedestal as an integral part of the sculpture itself. For her, the way a sculpture interacts with its surrounding space is just as important as the object it presents. In this way, the pedestal becomes an extension of the artwork, contributing to the overall narrative and experience.
Jolie Booth’s work invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between object, space, and form, blurring the lines between art and its environment.
