About
Jessica Foley
My work involves writing, image making and collaborative activities with individuals & groups. I like to work with other people, sometimes jointly making work or exchanging writing, or simply through engaging in conversation and sharing language.
I make responses to environments & situations in which I find myself, or place myself, allowing these responses to echo off into imagined places, weaving narratives and thoughts, often through a kind of poetry, in an effort to explore time, space & experience, systems & technologies.
Mostly, In a way, I am an essayist, working to build meaningful connections between things. I try to find ways to do this in ways that will engage people, and allow them to reciprocate some how with me through my work.
I am trying to find ways to encourage open (phatic) communication across boundaries whether perceived or invented. (The boundary could be institutional, political, aesthetic, personal, historical, etc.)
