ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When the sun dance Blob series It’s in movement that you can find stillness and vice versa. In the process of the blob series, I observe data and chose a small piece that can be translated into a movement. Each time the shape, like a glyph is very minimal, and I extend it to a larger scale. I start by drawing on paper, extracting the shape, then finding a piece of wood that can fit. Sourcing materials takes time but brings a new perspective to the process. Once the wood is painted with primer, I start tracing circles, and the grid and place the glyph. Then comes the cutting part, hand jigsaw, and sanding. About colors, each harmony is created to fit the shape and add dimension, eventually an optical illusion of the concept. On this one, I wanted uplifting colors but also a good contrast. Always coming back to dusk and dawn, the essence of light, each second developing new colors, and nuances. This could be a sunrise, this could be a sunset, and the viewer can decide or see what he wishes to see. Light as usual, is the one thing that we all can have and enjoy. each moment becomes an abstract landscape you can appreciate wherever you are.

French-Israeli artist, lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel. Graduated from the fine arts of Paris (ENSBA),LVMH young artist award 2006, TAKASAGO prize 2008.  She believes that order in chaos leads to an equilibrium of harmony. Jessica ’s corpus of art is an infinite voyage. Her calling never discovers a termination. Light is an exceptional commodity for her, the infinite evolution of colors, untangible moment of grace, and interactions with architecture. her process starts by translating this reflection and materialize them in shapes, lines and color harmonies She builds  utopian architecture (mindscape) where she unveils impossible geometry. Her art-objects are keys to new dimensions, a new approach of colors. the structures display optical illusion that distract us from rational thinking and logic. Her art is inspired by former Bauhaus artists like Josef Albers. Jessica lives in Tel Aviv, where the traces of this movement are still to be found in the city architecture. Albers inspired Moritz to consider herself profound with the theory of color. Her inquiry led to an inspirational mission to flourish a very own attitude to this optical material.  She believes in a sustainable way of producing her art. In consideration of climate change, she reclaims materials to use the existing. She gathers material on her trips and transforms them during a magical process into a new purpose. She tries to avoid a replacement out of senseless consumerism.
