I am a mixed media artist, based in the UK. I make collage and assemblage art with found objects. I like to find value in between the stains and the cracks.
By creating associations with found objects, not only I look at a more sustainable way of making, but I also have a starting point for my stories. Battered papers and discarded photos are a primal object for me to layer to evoke memory. turning anonymity into identity.
My references mainly come from the collective consciousness with works that explore loss and play, memory and identity, masculinity and gender norms. With my work as visual poetry I hope to take you back to a time of simplicity and stories around the campfire.
Working for me is a personal meditative exercise that I explore with mindfulness. I tend to work slowly and freely, without much planning. Mapping out inner dialogues and human experiences helps me set the tone and find the message. But creating looks nothing like planning.

These Hands - Artist Book Collaboration with Heather Keller
In August 2023 I hosted a giveaway on Instagram, which was designed to offer one artist the opportunity to collaborate with me on a one-of-a-kind artist book. Because of my busy schedule, I often have to turn down collaboration requests, so this giveaway felt like the perfect way to open up a special opportunity.
The winner of the giveaways was Heather Keller, an incredibly talented painter! Heather and I decided that the book would explore the theme of hand-making and draw inspiration from ancient crafts, showcasing the power and beauty of handmade art.
The process was both creative and collaborative. Heather and I exchanged packs of leftovers and scraps from our own studios. I sent her my cherished vintage ephemera and photos, while she sent me her beautifully hand-painted fabrics and fragments of her paintings. We then each created three pages, responding to the materials we received from each other. The final result is a cohesive, concertina-bound book that blends techniques like weaving and stitching, embodying the essence of craft as artistry.
I am incredibly proud of what we’ve created together. Heather’s artistic vision and our combined efforts have truly brought "These Hands" to life.

Your book is quite beautiful!! I love all of your papers and the way you combined them with one another.
Colors far from yours, true... But so beautiful and at the end in your personal style that I love!! Collaborations are always interesting; it is a way for nourishing from the work of each other 🎉
Thank you for saying that, I totally agree! Very nourishing indeed!
absolutely beautiful!
What a great idea and wonderful outcome.
Thanks so much! ❤️
GREAT to challenge each other. Both your packets are so thought-full, considerate/considering each other's style. What a wonderful project, love how it came out. Brilliantly done
Thank you! Considering the difference in style, I think we found a really great way to honour the other a make a book that feels very cohesive!
Love, love, love! When you step outside the box, do you get to step inside someone's else's box?
Lovely 🥰 piece
Thank you!
I love it! Thanks for watching!❤
🤍🤍🤍
100% breathtaking! Will a workshop like this ever be offered online for those of us who don't have the means to travel?
Thank you! That’s a nice idea, maybe I will 🙏
@@jackravi I'm in, if you do. I've taken 2 of your online classes and LOVE both!
Absolutely LOVE the glasses. Then book is amazing. Always glad to see a new JR video pop up. Hope you are well.
Thank you for the kindness!
This is a beautiful journal, Jack.
Brilliant, timeless, magical! Bravo, Jack!! And that vintage belt buckle is perfection ( I must find or make my own)
Oh my...stunning! I love the smokey grey patina and that pop of yellow and pink is scrumptious 💗😍💗😍💗

These are so very lovely and touching. I'm curious to know your waxing process so I can attempt my own.
absolutely adore your tiny book/journals. im in the process of clearing junk mail, which means book binding time, cz various papers used in mail lend themselves well to becoming a modified book board or different size journals. im excited to make a bunch of lil ones like yours 🌟
Absolutely stunning!!!
Thank you for keeping alive people's memories that could have been thrown away. Love old objects that tell a story. Have character. Keeping alive the past could help the present sometimes in many ways. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, I love old objects with a story! That’s really what drives me as an artist!
Vau beautiful book beautiful work colors i am happy see such beautiful art thanks
Thank you so much ❤️
Well Jack, you just made me love summertime all the more 🤍🤍🤍
I love that ❤ thank you for the comment 😊
Your book is awesome
So beautiful! So glad to have found your channel - now subscribed! Kathleen
Wow. Excellent.
how on earth do you get the tiny lettering done? is it all typed/printed on watercolor paper first and then cut into shapes for the interior of the shell?
Yes it’s cut to size
Oh, my goodness, Jack. Thank you for being a teacher in Collage makers summit. I am so inspired by your work and can't wait to start one of my own.Finally an idea for value-ing old photos. Thank you from Australia.
Oh thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the class, and you found some ideas for your photos!
Wonderful. Thanks for discovering you😊
This book is exquisite. The composition of each page is wonderful.....beautifully done. Thank you for sharing. xo
I find this book most interesting. Each page has a feeling of uncertainty to me, almost a feeling of looking at something I shouldn't be seeing. Brilliantly done, it's wonderful. ☺️ thank you ....
Thank you, that's such an interesting experience, and it's great to hear your feedback, I really appreciate it!
A beautiful book, Jack. I love old photos, even if I do not know the subjects....one can let their imagination run wild on telling a magical story about each subject. Thank you for sharing your personal art. ☺️
You're so welcome, and that's exactly why I love old photos and ephemera. I can make my own connections and tell my own stories
Jack, what an amazing piece of art. You, reading the poem, made it more beautiful. You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your work. ~ Barbie xo ❤
Wow, thank you! That’s very kind of you Barbie ❤️
