Jackie Ferrier This website has gone through many phases, but in its last incarnation was a focus on my photographic work. I really wished I could have pursued was the art work I started. It was, at the time, maybe the most real thing I have ever attempted to do. But with the ever-exhausting pursuit of money … Read more
I made this (above) with AI, which inspired this: We would have, had he lived long enough, retired to an airstream and travelled. That was the story anyway. I went along with it because it was as plausible as anything else. More plausible than what actually happened. But retirement was a long way off. We … Read more
This is an image I made with AI and as I made it this came to mind: The woods are lovely, dark and deep… Long before he died he used to quote this line from the poem before I ever knew it. I don’t know why or even what the context was, for at the … Read more
I made this image with AI. I’ve enjoyed using AI to work out some of those things I am preoccupied. Not that I am preoccupied by dolls – haha – but things that are disturbing. Things you see that you know maybe you shouldn’t get quite so affected by. A kind of.. liminal space somehow. … Read more

I think I learned about four different ways to make something like a tornado in Blender and it probably took a month to finally get it the way I wanted for this image. Sadly the time it took is probably more related to the fact I’m using a 2015 Mac laptop. Again, this was designed … Read more
This piece was originally conceived specifically to be viewed on instagram, if not on instagram or if instagram changes, this is/was a feed-based platform where the video would autoplay and virtually be indistinguishable from a still image. The idea was that you’d see it, and the subtle movement would cause you to to wonder if … Read more
Part one is here. You’ll see I strayed a ways away from my original concept. I don’t know if there is anything I have done so far that caused me as much thinking. Of course, there is always the thinking around the concept, and then the thinking around the build, and then the shooting and … Read more
The project I am currently working on. Lately, with my photography, I’ve been focusing on mood and building that mood by using signifiers that represent meaning both personally and universally. This landed me on a gas station at night. I’ve shot gas stations before. I had wanted to do one of my rabbit head pictures … Read more
