Jeanie Finlay

Jeanie makes interactive artworks which incorporate digital media and documentary. She often works in collaboration with members of the public, gathering opinions and stories through interviews and online-questionnaires. Often exploring emotive themes, her recent work has examined such subjects as beauty, the home and love - with passionate and personal results.

Over three years, Jeanie photographed and filmed in the living rooms of housebound older people in Derbyshire and Tokyo to make Home-Maker. Through developing close relationships with her subjects, she created a series of highly personal and intimate portraits of a range of people and the places they call home.

Her latest project is a 60 min documentary for BBC4. 'Teenland' takes the familiar subject of teenagers and treats it in a fresh way, revealing the small details that make up the wider narratives of their lives, infiltrating and exploring their spaces to find the stories hidden within.

Jeanie has made and presented artworks at key national gallery venues including Tate Britain, Hatton Gallery, Aberdeen Art gallery, Lakeside Arts and Angel Row Gallery as well as establishing a strong presence on the Internet. She has shown and made work in 3 different continents - including shows and screenings in Tokyo, Moscow, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Amsterdam, Berlin and Stuttgart.
