Jessica Wagner

I am an Interdisciplinary Artist living and working in Chicago, Illinois. I create environments, drawings, paintings, and photo performance work.

My work describes the evolving disconnect between humans and nature urging a return to more harmonious relationship to our earth. I often incorporate natural materials within the work allowing me to be in constant collaboration with the universe.
