Jamie North is a Sydney-based sculptor whose practice explores the intersection of natural systems and human industry through architecturally inflected works. Using materials such as cast concrete, metals, and industrial by-products, he creates eroded geometric forms, often columns or spheres, that are fractured, porous, and receptive to ecological processes. These structures are not static objects but living systems, designed to host plant life and evolve over time, embedding cycles of growth, decay, and environmental exchange within a rigorous formal language that draws equally on modernist geometry and geological transformation.
North has exhibited widely, with solo exhibitions including Rock Melt (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne), Falsework (The Renshaws’, Brisbane), Terraforms (Sarah Cottier Gallery, Sydney), and Inflection (Informality Gallery, London). His work has featured in group exhibitions such as Air (QAGOMA), the 20th Biennale of Sydney, Concrete (Tophane-i-Amire Cultural Centre, Istanbul), and Nature/Revelation (Ian Potter Centre, Melbourne). Notable public commissions include Ensemble for the Queensland Ballet and Stone in Three Phases, a permanent sculpture garden at Kulturhaus Obere Stube in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland.
