Jacqueline is attracted to the novelty within the mundane. By tapping into an altered state of awareness, she attempts to crystallize the uncanny and de-familiarize the common.
The relationship between light and shadow operates both visually and metaphorically in her work. In nature, the line between order and chaos plays out in the tension between growth and decay. In inhabited spaces, this juxtaposition can be found in the wild pushing up against the constructed. By examining the boundaries in-between, these thresholds have the potential to reveal what is beyond the veil of perception. In this liminal space, she finds a strange moment of clarity, a certain vibratory quality, that captures the animistic quality of the world. She believes it is an innately human pursuit to attempt to carve out the sacred from the profane. It is with this goal in mind, she paints from her experiences.
Jacqueline was born and raised in New Milford, CT. She received her B.A. in Art from UCLA in 2009 and currently lives and works in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Contact her at jacquelinecaraglior@gmail.com
