Jo Clements is a visual artist based at Rogue studios, Manchester UK, with a long-standing interest in the intersections of materiality, cognitive science, and social identity. Her work explores how knowledge – especially knowledge that is embodied, gendered or classed – is transmitted, stored, and valued. Through sculpture, drawing, sound and digital media, she investigates how meaning is constructed through both physical and cultural systems, from neural networks to educational materials. Frequently sensual, tantalisingly tactile and often tongue in cheek my work exudes an ambiguous mix of the serious and the absurd.

She holds a Fine Art practice-based PhD and was the overall winner of the Greater Manchester Arts Prize in 2018.
