Jindra Jehu

Jindra Jehu’s multidisciplinary practice is concerned with the relationship of systems within the natural world. Her work talks to, and is about her body, its failings and resilience, and the connectedness of it as part of a physical ecosystem beyond the idea of self. Much of Jehu’s recent research has involved employing fungi as an agent in the transformation of sculptural form. Through these collaborations she explores the interconnectedness of systems within nature, the entanglement of species, the human body and the natural cycle of life and death. In 2023 an image Jehu took of one of her fungal sculpture was selected as a finalist for the R.P.S Women Science Photographer of the Year. In 2023 she was the recipient of the AUB Post Graduate Award and in 2024 was awarded The John Purcell Paper Prize.
