Jessica is a curating and sociology student from Melbourne. Her developing multidisciplinary practice draws together curating, poetry, publishing, performance and personal/critical writing. Her work often examines love and friendship through a feminist, queer, and creative lens. Using loved ones as muses, she imbues sentimentality through autobiographical elements. Her practice is grounded in a love of art and connection.

Intimevent

"Intimevent" was an activation of Jessica's publication, "Intimazine". It included poetry reading by Jas Shalimar and Lia Dewey Morgan, reading Tara Denny's poem, an artist talk by Aliza Suz, Jessica's performance "Maid of Conrith" and live music by Ruby Glynn and Monty Price.

"Intimevent" took place within the "Pub(lication) Crawl" at Intermission Gallery.

Maid of Conrith

Jessica performed "Maid of Conrith" with Paris Douvlos as the subject. The performance emulates a mythical story of a Corinthian maid who traces her lover's silhouette on her wall before he goes away to war, this story is said to be the origin of painting. This work captures the desire to remember people, to document them in a physical way as a sentimental object.
