Juxtapoz Magazine Interview "I am obsessed with household textures and objects—furniture, blankets, towels, bath mats, rugs, socks, etc. I add layers and layers of latex paint onto soft objects that soak it in and fossilize into solid forms." "Colors choices are usually based on the context of what is around and trying to create the most contrast and visual force possible." "I prefer words like provocative and precarious, psychological, nauseating, inundating, confrontational, luscious, alive, awkward, rhythmic as well as more direct thematic words like feminine, domestic, material culture, home, interiority, etc. I kind of hate when the work is reduced to the formal and abstract, which are present but not prevailing. One of my favorite comments recently was when someone said that the work is “mischievous." jessicastockholder.info
Interview with Art21. "My work is about posing this possibility for some other experience [or] world than the one that we experience as mundane." "My work is really about pleasure." "I think what kids do as play is a kind of learning and thinking that doesn't have a predetermined end." |
