It was lovely to be visited this Summer by writer Chloë Ashby, and featured in the Magazine.

 

For Jess, art is about communicating with the viewer. “It’s about what people bring to it and how they experience it,” she says. Her work asks questions but doesn’t provide answers. Instead, it offers room to breathe. Vacant spaces and seats in which to sit and think. Blank books, empty boxes and anonymous shadow figures open to interpretation and ideas. She takes cues from the everyday – ordinary objects and occurrences – and uses them as a springboard for further contemplation. “I'm making use of the mundane, and the mundane becomes exciting to me because I make art about it."
