ABOUT JASMINE PRIOR

The earth and its tiniest living things intrigue me. The idea that the smallest beetles can breakdown and decompose life turning it back into soil is beautiful. 

Growing up I collected bugs and as an adult I still do. My art shows this love of collection and display.

My most recent work includes photography as well as bits and pieces foraged from outside, insect parts, clay, and other found objects to create sculptures.

I want my art to burst with the earth’s energy and show that we are all connected to the earth and that these tiny creatures are every bit as important as you and I.

My work aims to remind you of the childlike joy you discover when finding a bone, dead butterfly, or feather that you take home to put into a keepsake box. To you it is a treasure from the earth, and this is beautiful.
