Скачать или смотреть The Oxbow School - Online Visiting Artist Series with Jessica Frances Grégoire Lancaster

We were incredibly fortunate to be joined by Jessica Lancaster on Zoom as part of our Online Visiting Artist Series. Jessica is a painter, photographer, and mirror-maker based in NYC whose work engages analog image making and personal archives through painting on glass. Here is an excerpt from her recent artist statement: "I cannot stand to watch sheets of paper run through printers, plotting ink. It is simply ink on paper. Call it a print but not a photograph. There is light in the decisive moment however there is no light in its final conception. It is incomplete. I do not want to participate in such a process, so I paint. I work with glass and silver as they are remnants of my former photographic practice. Glass emulating emulsion. It acts as a vehicle on which to make photographs and its container. Silver serving as the foundation of analog photographs, the root of nearly all images made before the dawn of the digital age. My paintings reference the snapshot and family album. It is a form of reassertion against the personal narrative and the history of photography." We are so grateful to have had this time to learn more about Jessica's work and would like to extend a huge THANK you for her time with OS42 over Zoom. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
