Jessie Mott is a visual artist whose practice focuses on themes of identity and power by exposing unstable perceptions of the queer body. Using an array of media, including drawing, painting, ceramics and animation, she gives life to creatures that negotiate permeable boundaries. Bound up in desire, mourning, and anxiety, her work disrupts the margins of human and animal, abstraction and figuration, and interior and exterior worlds. This psychological space embraces defiance, rage, longing, celebration, vulnerability, and aggression as primary modes of representation.
