Jessica Warboys

Contemporary artist Jessica Warboys has exhibited at Documenta, Whitechapel Art Gallery and the Centre Pompidou. She works across a wide range of media including performance, film, sculpture and painting. Often informed by personal or collective memories; historical, mythical or fi ctional, this publication explores the artist's use of symbolism, her vocabulary of forms and her approach to landscape. Warboys often combines her materials with a natural element, such as the sea or the sun. She often applies pigment directly onto largescale canvases before submerging them into the sea to allow the waves to distribute the colour.
