Jayni Patel

Consumed by the escapist imagery of fictional media, I am a fine artist whose practice explores worldbuilding: crafting movement-infused fictional terrains and liminal environments of natural and architectural spaces, often occupied by aliens. Using the collage of embroidery, textile, painting, and drawing, I activate the physicality of my world through installation, grounding audiences in the material properties of it as a mode of transportation. After graduating, I hope to build upon my relationship with fictional media either through the Publishing Industry or Concept Art, working intimately with the stories of others to gain a well-rounded relationship with said fiction.
