Jessica Dickinson

Jessica Dickinson (b. 1975) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her practice is centered around the creation of dense, atmospheric abstract paintings that explore shifting experiences of time, perception, matter, and consciousness. Optical yet tactile, minimal yet baroque, restrained yet generous, they offer space for the labor and process of paying attention. Making only four paintings a year, her ongoing drawing projects – notebook drawings, traces, works on paper, and remainders – extend these ideas through their own particular materialities and modalities. While her paintings evolve slowly over the course of a year, her drawings offer an opportunity to arrest a moment or focus in on a singular event.
