Jess is a photographer and artist working across a variety of mediums. She investigates humanity’s forgotten integration with nature through her own immersion in and observation of the varying characteristics of spaces she finds herself in. Using an intuitive approach to photographing and selecting details of daily life, she looks for connections and dichotomies among them and brings elements together to form new relationships that are less tied to their original contexts, encouraging a more liberated way in which we see and judge the things around us.
As a recent masters graduate from the University of Salford, Jess has been awarded a 12 month long graduate scholarship from the UoS Art Collection in partnership with Castlefield Gallery and Islington Mill. As a photographer Jess has lots of experience in live music and events, and is part of the in-house photography team at o2 Victoria Warehouse, o2 Apollo and o2 Ritz in Manchester.
