Jacqui’s interest in the politicization of time takes form through poetic exploration of repetition, narrative, delegation and physical activity. Working in video, photography, performance, and writing, her work seeks to establish a relationship with the temporalities of communication, labour and repetition. Her current research focuses on post-work politics, laziness, and practices of alternative temporal relations to our current understanding of work from a western perspective.

Jacqui Shelton is a visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. She has shown extensively in both solo and group shows throughout Australia, and in Italy, New York, and Berlin. She recently completed a residency at the NARS Foundation in New York and is currently undertaking her MFA at Monash University, Melbourne.
