Pencils, brush, flux.



Jessica Green is a graphic designer and currently an illustrator. The two photographs here showcase her sculptural work in a more intimate and direct format (above) as well as in it's natural desk habitat (below).   The use of the pencils in the artwork, as contruction materials, rather than tools to draw, shows a shift from Jessica's usual work. The use of bluetac as the binding force shows the temporary nature of this work, and suggests that she is likely to return the brush and pencils to their original use very soon. This photo captures a fleeting moment. By the time you read this, the materials may already be back in motion, creating a new artwork of their own.

  1. That is an awesome sculpture! It is eye-catching and thought-provoking, and cleverly makes use of the tools of the artist's trade to form the masterpiece.
    I wonder if the lone brush, trapped in a maze of pencils, is the artist's way of trying to convey to her audience that her real love is painting, but she is caught in a web of drawing projects?
    If a picture says a thousand words, then surely a sculpture says a hundred thousand! Well done Jess!
