Description

A Room of One’s Own: a concept made famous by Virginia Wolfe, and the inspiration for this special piece.  Inside all of us is a place—a room, a corner, a vista, a field—where we can be ourselves, at peace, at rest. Everything we are on the outside may be quite different; this inner space is our retreat for when we are seeking succor and peace.  The animal captured in each of Danger’s pieces stands as a caricature of the person it represents, and here we see the quiet inner world of the person we see on the outside.

Danger began examining inner worlds as part of an introspective project that spawned new empathy and interest in the inner workings of others.

About The Artist

Jordan Danger

Jordan Danger is an award-winning queer, genderqueer artist in the Ottawa Valley working primarily in clay, with a background in illustration, animation, and painting. Danger is known for pushing the boundaries between art and craft, and for experimenting with mixing genres and mediums. Danger began a career in the arts two decades ago and has worked primarily in clay for over half that time. Danger makes many purely sculptural works but also takes great pleasure in creating artworks out of functional forms, as a means to integrate artwork into the most utilitarian parts of the home. Known for whimsy and surrealism, Danger’s work is rich in storytelling and commentary in a gentle, accessible way.
