I was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Indonesia, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan.
My work is a diary of my life, exploring it's order and imperfections. I have published
a number of limited edition artist books, many of which are now sold out or out of print.
I have exhibited my work in solo and two-person exhibitions in Tokyo, New York City, Los Angeles,
and Houston, TX. My work was selected for the 2013 ICP Triennial Exhibition. I was a finalist
for the Third Coast short fiction award, and the second place winner of The Grand Prix de la
Découverte/NoFound Photography Award. My work has appeared in publications such as Dossier
Journal, Twin Magazine, Lurve Magazine, Art + Design (China), Urban Magazine, Oyster, and
No Cigar.I previously worked as a construction worker, a dishwasher, and as an artist assitant
to photographers Mike and Doug Starn.

Artist Jordan Sullivan creates things from a good ground--a solid ground--which allows his
work to reach distant places. His art shows a dedicated honesty to himself and he offers to share
that with anyone else--you are free to enter his world and his memories. It’s very clear to me that
he works very hard at his art, but there isn’t any sense of anxiousness in it. He works to capture
some truth--and truth is the beautiful thing, even if it’s ugly. With aplomb he captures what’s in
his head, the places in his head that are in the distance, the beautiful distance.

- Mike Starn, artist/photographer (excerpt from Natural History Catalog, published by Underline Gallery, 2012)

In his roamings across country, artist Jordan Sullivan has collected things--objects, images, words,
places; the location of these entities seems to be nowhere and everywhere at the same time, and the
words either inscribed on the images, such as “Paradise is a dead man’s town,” or found within the
photos themselves; “Big Sky Hay and Feed” offer no direction, only more intensity and depth. In
point of fact, the key to the map is the artist himself, which is the core of Jordan Sullivan’s
work--the linkage of objects and images stitched together by memory.

-William Corwin, critic
