Art - Jessica Zoob
Jessica Zoob is as inspired by satellite landscapes of the world
as she is by the inside of shells. “It’s amazing
how nature recreates the same patterns again and again,”
she says. She represents these patterns using all sorts of different
media: plaster, crushed glass, antique lace, jewels, pearls,
stamps, whatever she lays her hands on. And, of course, a lot
of paint. She applies many layers, and then works away at them.
Sometimes she has a subjective starting point, sometimes an
image emerges which she works on. “People wonder whether
I am an abstract painter,” she says. “But I would
call myself more of a landscape painter. I am inspired by what
I see in nature, then I filter it through myself.”
She is very eclectic, and highly productive. One collection
is very different from another, though instantly recognisable
as her work. The current collection, created especially for
Flint, draws many of its influences from Lewes. She uses plaster,
precious stones and fabrics to recreate the beauty she sees
in the local rural and urban landscape. In the detail we are
featuring (right) she has fashioned a pregnant woman, standing.
“Though I don’t expect others to see what I see
in the painting,” she comments. “People say to me
that they like my work because they see different things in
it every day. When the human eye sees something, they want to
make connections. It is a little like looking at the clouds
in the sky.” AL |
