Jessica Dueker Taken From the Day. A Space Beyond This. Painting jessicaduekerartist@gmail.com www.jessicadueker.com
The passage of time is difficult to see, draw, or read. Art has helped transform the difficulty of ‘time’ into a physical form, becoming a way to illustrate my thought process—an outlet for communicating my thoughts and feelings. These works are mental maps of contemplative moments through my personal lens, presented through obscured image and text. The forms are created through a process that reflects my internal state of mind, becoming a safe space to collect my thoughts and document the passage of time. I use found books, of no particular subject, to create new poems from the words within. I connect the words together using “black bubbles”. These are the forms now seen before you. These “black bubbles” are my contributions to conversations I could never have. I am interested in the new conversations the “black bubbles” can start. My inability to say what is on my mind becoming the generator for exchanges beyond my control.
