  Bras for breast cancer: I have just started work again on this series. I need hundreds of volunteer models to create more national flags for my Bra Spangled Banner series and some new secret projects! I make them by taking photos of my volunteers wearing as many bras as they can bring, using a modified document scanner. This generates very high resolution images showing all the details of the fabric and skin tones, tattoos, scars etc. Hundreds of scans are then assembled to create these iconic national flags. Grab a friend and ALL your bras and swimwear and come on down to

    14th September - 4th October 2025 Having appeared in the Ozzie press since the early 2000s I'm now planning regular visits to grow my presence there. Four of my works have recently been bought by The Museum of Desire in Melbourne and I look forward to checking out the installation and completing a residency these in the Autumn. I'm also travelling the length of the East Coast for meetings with galleries, private collections, museums, businesses and potential clients to discuss future exhibitions and collaborations. If you would like to meet to discuss a commission whilst I'm in the country please contact me via: info@jamiemccartney.com   PRESS

  Sand from Every Country in the World Do you remember that scene from Saving Private Ryan where one of the characters collects sand from the Normandy beach and puts it is his pack, revealing the tins from all his other campaigns? I'm doing some similar but with the ambitious intention of getting some from everywhere in the world. Not just every country but different parts of some countries too, states, islands etc. There's some beautiful sand out there from twinkling, ground up shells to black, volcanic grit. I'll even take some moon dust if you have it. If your country has

  Casting molten lava I'm not sure this is a good idea but that's rarely stopped me in the past. I'm interested in using lava to make sculptures. For thousands of years people have been carving rock into artworks. I'm looking to cast it instead. As an experimental artist this ticks all the boxes and the resulting pieces will surely land with the public because it's such a weird thing to do. Not to mention the pure theatre of it all. I'm looking for an earth scientist and volcanologist to collaborate with. I'm also interested in how our understanding of the fragility of our

  Holocaust Memorial Announced on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, my next big project will honour the victims of the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. Over the last four years I have been developing this idea to create Holocaust memorial artworks with great emotional power, that will stop people in their tracks. In the words of a Jewish artist friend I showed prototypes to: "It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up".   I need your help to approach survivors and families of survivors and victims to seek their input, thoughts and hopefully their approval for

  Elephant survival in Tanzania I have been invited to collaborate with an elephant charity based in Tanzania on an interactive installation to raise interest in an new and fascinating way of preserving the last surviving elephant families in the area. By demonstrating how similar we are to these animals perhaps we can increase the empathy required to save these animals from extinction. Mega fauna is more in peril than ever and it has always been humans who have destroyed them. We have a chance now to change that script. Please join us as we work on this using natural materials and

  Evolutionary insights in vaginal morphology and variety I have been invited to collaborate on a scientific paper by a professor of evolutionary biology. The biometric data contained within my hundreds of casts of the body is a unique reference library of genital morphology. By digitising the collection, computer analysis will be able to understand the variations in morphology and their evolutionary direction, providing invaluable insights in the understudied field of women's healthcare. By further adding significantly to the total number of casts this paper could be a game changer for many areas of gynaecological research, product and medicinal development. We are in

  An end to female genital cutting I have been invited by the Orchid Project to collaborate on a project to raise interest and understanding around the need to end the destruction of young women's genitals via cutting and stitching in the most brutal of fashions. We are creating a series of vulva castings of women who were cut as children and have not yet been able to access reconstructive surgeries. It is hoped these casts will help to demonstrate what these girls endure and what affect it has on their health and their lives. I am also collaborating with Aurora Almadori, a
