Jo Locke [b. Louisville, Kentucky (she/they)] is an interdisciplinary artist with a concentration in Sculptural Collage. Their work has been shown internationally but most notably in their parents living room.

Jo has a heightened sense of importance tied to human-built-space and is drawn to the fleeting dynamics present in spaces of shared identity such as the printshop and dance studio. Some might call Jo an amateur sociologist as they continually seek to unpack generational social structures which contribute to the functional theater of such everyday shared-space and the Illusion of Progress.

In addition to painting, the fruit of Jo’s production utilities traditional craft techniques including paper making, lithography, and sewing to develop “bits” smaller objects that, when combined with Jo’s Catalog of Materials, are constructed into larger, space altering, Sculptural Collages.

Jo has received awards, participated in residencies, and received a Bachelor of Arts.
