"What I love most about Jodi Kitto-Ward's art practice is that it offers a compelling vision of coexistence, where nature and the built environment are not in opposition, but in quiet dialogue. At its core, the work speaks to environmental awareness, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the natural elements that surround us daily, often unnoticed. Subtle references to Art Deco emerge through the work's stylized composition and emphasis on clean, rhythmic lines. The architecture is rendered with a sense of structure and symmetry, while decorative elements and flattened forms echo the movement's interest in elegance, order, and design. This influence lends the piece a timeless quality, where detail and simplicity coexist in a refined comtemporary balance."
