STATEMENT

Tessa Moxey’s work is unabashedly silly and full of humour, poking fun at her own memories as well as people she sees in her everyday life. Her style is coherent across her catalog of work which includes collage, illustration and jewelry. She takes a great deal of inspiration from textiles and pattern creation, weaving her own narrative into these using analog and digital methods of collage, mixed-media and embroidery in unique and creative ways.
