Jane Brucker

Jane Brucker uses sculptural objects and performance to engage the viewer through movement, sound, and ritual activity. In works that exhibit a strong tactile sensibility, she is able to simultaneously explore the visceral and the spiritual. Combining found objects and heirlooms with wood, glass, metal, textiles and traditional drawing materials, she creates artifacts that examine memory, fragility, and death. Her work has been exhibited at venues throughout the United States and internationally, in Nepal, France, Germany, Scotland, Japan and the Czech Republic. She earned an MFA from Claremont Graduate University, an MA in Religion and the Arts from the Claremont School of Theology and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture where she studied with Agnes Martin. She is a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique and regularly incorporates this awareness practice into her courses. She has taught at LMU since 1993.
