STATEMENT

The world boasts a free, boundless collection of paper media, strung across time and space, and collaging is my hand’s momentum towards patterns in narrative, setting, or personal expression.

My collaging begins with pilfering; I pull from a pit of papers I’ve collected from grocery stores and free boxes in college offices and garage sales. As I sink into my collection of media, I look for pleasing clashes of color, asymmetrical tears, layering potential, and irony.

I croon over floorboards, stacking piles of harmonious pieces, stitching piles together and making them whole, with X-acto knives, scissors, Modge Podge, and double-sided scotch tape.

Each of my reworked pieces is a manifestation of impromptu intuitions and sturdy intentions, and as such, the overture of my products toggles between playful and sincere.

BIO

Jesse is a Louisianan without a professional art career. She collages for herself, at the call of wind chimes, in stolen time amid work, other humans, and life itself. Once a psychology and French student, Jesse is now in full pursuit of art, writing, reading, thinking, and breathing. There are no formal exhibitions, awards, or expertise in their repertoire. Just a love for slicing, mixing, and pasting.
