Artist: Jess Self | Location: Decatur, GA
Decatur, GA
Jess Self completed her M.F.A at Georgia State University and is a recipient of the prestigious Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award and was a 2022 Hudgens Prize nominee. She primarily makes figurative sculptures and loves to incorporate textiles, mysticism, and cultural content. Much of her early work, made completely of needle-felted wool, touched on themes of trauma and abuse; this work has been exhibited multiple times and has received positive reviews in several publications such as Create Magazine, Fiber Art Now, and Emergency Index. How we build emotional bonds with each other is one of her central concerns. In addition to making exhibition work, she enjoys teaching workshops and participating in craft shows.
