Niki Jessup

Niki Jessup’s practice explores the relationship between the body and the object, with particular attention to skin, its traces and singularities, and to the imperfections that arise from both the material and the hand. Touch plays a central role in her creative process: each gesture shapes the material and leaves its mark, particularly in her work with leather.

With a background in shoemaking and leatherwork, Jessup draws on traditional techniques while experimenting with different ways of transforming leather. Her practice includes footwear, objects and sculptural forms, often incorporating offcuts and leftover materials. She holds a Master’s degree in Footwear Design from Cordwainers, London College of Fashion (UAL, UK, 2016), and has exhibited her work in Canada and internationally, including at Révélations at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Valade Family Gallery in Detroit, FashionClash in Maastricht, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

La pratique de Niki Jessup explore la relation entre le corps et l’objet, avec une attention particulière portée à la peau, à ses traces et à ses singularités, et aux imperfections qui résultent à la fois de la matière et de la main. Le toucher joue un rôle central dans son processus créatif : chaque geste façonne la matière et laisse son empreinte, particulièrement dans son travail du cuir.

Issue de la chaussure et de la maroquinerie, Niki Jessup s’appuie sur les techniques traditionnelles tout en expérimentant différentes façons de transformer le cuir. Sa pratique comprend des chaussures, des objets et des formes sculpturales, intégrant souvent des retailles et des matières résiduelles. Titulaire d’une maîtrise en design de chaussures de Cordwainers, London College of Fashion (UAL, Royaume-Uni, 2016), elle a présenté son travail au Canada et à l’international, notamment à Révélations au Grand Palais à Paris, au Victoria and Albert Museum à Londres, à la Valade Family Gallery à Detroit, à FashionClash à Maastricht et au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal.
