ELECTED IN 2021
Jess’s work addresses dissonance. Internal and external. Jess explores this complexity and confusion by interweaving traditional relief print processes such as linocut and woodcut with modern technology from lasercut, to sublimation and risograph printing.
Jess won the Hawthorn Prize at the Flourish Printmaking Excellence Awards and her work has been featured several times in Printmaking Today, the foremost Printmaking Journal in the UK, including as winner of the National Original Print exhibition Printmaking Today award.
She has exhibited in the International Print Biennale, the Royal West Academy Open, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, and the Print International exhibition.
She won the Peter Reddick Bursary residency at Spike Print studio and had a solo exhibition there and at The Courtyard in Hereford.
Jess’s recent exhibition at Oriel Mon was an exploration of our relationship with technology through its Risograph print installations and was reviewed in Wales Arts Review.
She was a speaker at the Print Symposium 2020 on Print and The Expanded Field.
