Field Notes:

endurance as empathy · process as form · repetition as devotion

Defining Moment:

Early 1970s — endurance as empathy; order clarified

Jackie Winsor

(

b. 1941

)

jak-ee win-ser

Winsor built a world by repetition and labor.

Her hand-bound cubes and nailed spheres transform physical effort into form — process made visible as devotion.

‍

In her world, endurance is empathy, time the true material.

Structural Focus

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Jackie Winsor’s work, this approach appears where weight and joinery determine sculptural tension.

Position

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Jackie Winsor’s work, this approach appears where weight and joinery determine sculptural tension.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-Minimalism

Minimal systems loosen through process, material, and contingency.

Work is defined by making, duration, and transformation.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Precision as intimacy
