Jindra Jehu is a visual artist who employs sculpture, installation, drawing and photography to reflect on the relationship of systems within the natural world and the idea of matter as material and material as matter. Her work draws on her body, its failings and resilience, and the connectiveness of it as part of a physical ecosystem beyond the idea of self.

She employs drawing as a means of exploring the relationship of the micro to the macro and our place within the cosmos. Collected drawing materials often undergo transformative processes, tying work to a specific place or experience.

Her collaborations with fungi in the transformation of sculptural form, explore the entanglement of species, the human body and natural cycles of renewal. Forms are created from sustainable papers, textiles and bees wax before becoming the ground for colonisation. The outcomes are transitory and are composted so that they can complete the cycle.

Jindra Jehu’s practice developed alongside art education. In 2023 she completed an MA in Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth and received the Post Graduate Award. She was a finalist in the RPS Women Science Photographer of the Year 2023 and in 2024 was awarded the John Purcell Paper Prize. Jindra spent 2024 in residence at Spudworks in the New Forest. She is a member of twenty3 art.collective.
