Jordan Mckenzies work has traversed the territories of investigations into obsessional behaviour and 'queer' culture creating difficult and contentious work centred on the body. Recent work has extended his interest in relation to the physicality of drawing, most notably at the Arnolfini in 2002 with a durational installaction exhibition, Untitled [DIE].

McKenzie continues his investigation into drawing as a performative act with body/mark, a series of drawings that consider the body as site.

Drawing explored as an action that articulates the body in space, a way of locating the body within architectural place. These actions cross the lines between performance, drawing and sculpture, meeting at a point where the body and the mark [drawing] break through the terrain of traditional definition and establish new dialogues and relationships.

Jordan Mckenzie has produced work throughout the UK and Europe and his received his MA at Nottingham Trent University where he now teaches
