JORDAN HOLMS

Jordan Holms is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, textiles, and sculpture. With a keen sense for architecture and design, her practice considers how aesthetic ‘tastes’ are materialized, organized, and made to mean. Mining source materials from the built environment (both physical and online), Holms’s work addresses how material cultural capital takes shape in the wake of the suburbanization and homogenization of digital advertising. Her references range across commodity culture; from folk art, to flea markets, reality television, boutique ‘concept’ stores, and so-called aspirational design accounts on social media. Filtered through the lens of abstraction, her work interprets the things we find in our homes and in the built environment that signal something about how taste produces meaning. Holms constructs irreverent and errant spaces that index their own meanings in an attempt to make sense of what ‘having taste’ might look like in a moment wherein cultural trends are dictated by algorithms, as well as elites.​​
