A B O U T J E N D I X O N

Jen Dixon is a visual artist who interweaves elements of photography, collage, walking practice, archival research, and the written. She is drawn to post-industrial spaces, lost paths, and waterways—particularly in Birmingham, the Black Country, and the former Forest of Arden. She works with fragments - of place, of language, of image - to tell new stories. Her process is grounded in a sensitivity to shifting landscapes and a quiet attention to what has been left behind. Through this tactile reworking of place, she reimagines familiar terrain and invites others to do the same.

Jen also works collaboratively in various ways, engaging individuals and groups of all ages in walking practice, heritage and archives, and artistic making. She encourages people to be curious about the places they move through every day and to engage with their surroundings.
