The mixed media works on paper expand upon the fields and delineations within the paintings, reflecting a similar process as they are painted, marked, sanded, picked, erased, layered, carved, cut, worked on top of each other, as well as from both sides. These works are created slowly, almost blindly, while incorporating the index of time, marks, and residual atmosphere formed beneath and between the peripheral activities of making and daily studio life.
Jessica Dickinson’s work is the result of an intense interest in the slow passage of time and the details of a surface.
