Jessica Jorgensen has always been a curious observer, and along with that curiosity came the necessity to document; to record the visual absurdities and narratives she sees repeated through the objects and people in her everyday life. Her work explores the figures' ability to carry emotion and story through the body, as well as the underlying figurative nature of objects personified. These observations are sometimes simple, sometimes serious, often spiritual, even silly at times, but her drawings and paintings are always incarnations of these observations, and the emotional connections attached with them. Her current body of work "Digital Devotion" is a colorful, visual exploration challenging the value we place in our devices, and how human connection and language have adapted as a result of the Information Age.
