Branch

Jessica Branch’s work explores ideas of highly symbolic imagery in a surrealistic abstraction. Her work looks to challenge the viewer’s eye in her mix media highly rendered pieces. She seeks to engage her subjects in her work in an ethnographic context as a way of telling a story versus subjecting her own ideals on to her subjects. By doing this she reveals harsh yet beautiful realities of past, present and future notion of the human experience.
