““The fundamental, universal and underpinning experience of all living things is change, metamorphosis and evolution. Even inanimate objects have it thrust upon them. So, why do we resist it, why is it painful, why do we find the unknown so uncomfortable? What are we, if we are not moving, growing, ageing, learning? Seeking and discovering, being challenged and rising to meet the demands of new times and new ways of being and thinking.””
“Jasmine Mansbridge’s 2020 exhibition Shape Shifting is both brave and restrained; the best of human qualities. The works in Shape Shifting and those in her last show, Your Turn the Moon, are alike in that they are true to Jasmine’s form, arresting and meticulous. In Shape Shifting Mansbridge builds on her last body of work with confidence and speaks to change.”
