I’m sharing some artwork condo owners can have. As a condo owner you probably feel you don’t have enough wall space, especially if your condo is open-concept. You might feel limited to the artwork you can have. Here are some ideas for artwork condo owners can have. If you have a tiny home or not a lot of wall space - keep reading. 


A condo or a tiny home usually doesn't have a lot of wall space which can make you feel limited in having an art collection and displaying art or photographs proudly.


Sometimes, when you don't have a lot of wall space you can get creative for how you choose to display artwork or pictures in your home.



Ideas for displaying artwork condo owners can do:



Display artwork on your nightstand or end table

If you don't have a lot of wall space you can frame a piece of artwork and a picture frame or you can display photographs that are framed on a nightstand, an end table or a coffee table. By choosing small framed artworks, You can arrange them and even layer them to display multiple frames on an end table or a nightstand.



Display artwork on a shelf

Similar to displaying framed artwork on a nightstand and table or coffee table you can also frame artwork or photographs and display them on a shelf. When you own a condo or a tiny home you might feel like there's not a lot of storage for all of your things a shelf is a great way to not only store items but to display artwork or photographs proudly. On your shelf you can add baskets or boxes where you're able to store certain items and knickknacks and then you can also frame art of artwork photographs and put them on your shelf. You can also layer in potted plants fake plant vases with flowers or dried flowers. You can then add sculptural elements like a special figurine or a candle to add more dimension to your shelf display.

Outdoor Art Installation


From Sep 30, 2023 to Nov 15, 2023 I participated in the Terrain Biennale which is an outdoor art installation. I showed my piece “Trail” which is a 20 foot long arm-knitted lace installation that extended from my porch drooping onto the ground. To learn more about this outdoor art installation- keep reading!




Here is the website to learn more about the Terrain Biennale: https://terrainexhibitions.org/




Here is what Terrain Biennale says about the exhibition/outdoor art installations: Terrain Biennial is a grassroots public art festival that brings artists and neighbors together to put public art on the front lawns (and porches, windows, and rooftops, too!) of neighborhoods across the world.




Artists and curators collaborated with hosts to produce public art installations (think sculptures, paintings, projections, flags, yarn art, you name it!) outside their homes (and other unexpected spots!).



You can check out my installation here: https://terrainexhibitions.org/tb23-huntsville-on

How to Participate in the Outdoor Art Installation of Terrain Biennale:

Make sure you apply. I suggest following them on Instagram to stay connected and know when you should apply. Then you need to find a host to agree to have your art installed. Then you install your art and take a photo of it so it can be added on the Terrain Biennale website. When choosing a piece to apply with you want to think about a piece that will be able to withstand weather conditions for a month and a half. 

I chose to submit the piece “Trail” because I knew that it could withstand rain and even snow. Yes, sometimes it snows in Canada early! I also like the way that it drapes like a long lace curtain. I am thinking about making this piece longer. Should I? Let me know in the comments!

1963-1974- Artwork by Jackie Partridge

This is an older work from 2015 called 1963-1974 by Jackie Partridge. The artwork is less than 2’ by 2’.  I completed this artwork during my undergraduate degree at Lakehead University. I created it as part of my art portfolio when I was applying to my Master of Fine Arts at Concordia University in the Fibres and Material Practices Program. 

Polaroids and machine sewing - form a patchwork quilt of memories with old family photos. The photographs are arranged by colour to help the chevron pattern emerge. My grandmother was sorting through family photos and gave me a collection of photographs. I asked if I could cut them and turn them into an artwork and she said yes. There’s something weird about cutting up family photographs and replacing a part of them to form a new memory. I sewed the photographs with a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine in white thread.

Polaroids are such a nostalgic medium and have become trendy again. Working with this medium of found Polaroids really speaks to the time period and the moment that captured the photograph. I love the colours from the pictures and how they have faded over time. Some of the photographs even have my grandmother’s handwriting on the bottom of them. 

I am very interested in quilts, sewing and textile art because when I grew up I had 8 grandmothers including great-grandmothers and great-great-grandmothers. The craft of quilting and sewing are very important to my family heritage and to myself.

Trail - Arm Knitted Installation by Jackie Partridge

Trail detail by Jackie Partridge, arm-knitted lace strips

Trail by Jackie Partridge is a work from my art archive that I made while living in Montreal and going to school for my MFA. This fiber artwork is very performative as I used the knitting process to create it. The act of knitting is very repetitive and labour intensive. It is the same motion over and over again. Learn more about this textile artwork below!

Trail

1’x 20', found lace, sewing and arm knitting, 2016. 

The work was displayed at Ancienne École des Beaux Arts for the end of year MFA exhibition “Maureen” in 2016.

Jackie-Partridge_Trail.jpg

This art installation is made by cutting long strips of found lace curtains. The strips of lace were sorted by colour from a yellow cream colour all the way to a pure white at the bottom of the piece. The colour created a nice gradient. The strips were then sewn together to create a very long strip that was then wrapped like a ball of yarn. This process was repeated twice. Like knitting, I used my arms as the “knitting needles” and continued to knit for over an hour to create this 20 foot long installation that was suspended from the top of the staircase. I knit continuously since I used my arms as the knitting needles.

When this piece is lit it produces some beautiful shadows from the design of the white lace. 

I have also displayed this textile artwork outside in the snow. You can see the photograph at the bottom. I liked draping it in the snow and seeing how it dragged across the snow.
