Jordan says:
"My paintings use the avenues of figure, still life and landscape to
implant ordinary images with psychological meanings. I find images in
mid-twentieth century American magazines and books; each image is chosen
for an ability to move from a news/advertising past into another
version of the story.
My figurative paintings often focus on women and nature. In these painting, a mid-century woman is surrounded by a wildness, a wilderness, or a tamed version of nature. Here, the paintings depart from traditional figure in landscape painting as the nature of her activity and her place in society are left uncertain.
My still life paintings imply the absence of a figure through depictions of the detritus of a personal collection of objects. Books act as a stand in for one person’s accumulated knowledge. The stack of books is blank: full of potential or conversely, impenetrable."
