Jessica Kirkpatrick’s large drawing/ink painting installation is inspired by graphic novels and fresco murals. Using the principals of sequential art, Ancient Pain creates a quasi-narrative about a dysfunctional mask persona, which ceases to provide a working identity, is shed, then opens to the possibility for personal freedom. In the genre of memoir, this work draws on childhood wounds, psychological hang-ups and the yearning for connection. Employing motifs including mental health, aging, consumerism, feminine maternal space, disillusionment and transformation, this exhibit is really about LACK and DESIRE as a fundamental propelling force of existence and evolution.

I am a visual artist originally from California living in my adopted home Edinburgh Scotland. With work in private collections around the USA, Europe and Australia, I also love sharing my love of art through teaching. I have a two year old son and am very inspired by the connection between art making and motherhood, most recently participating in the Artist-In-Residency in Motherhood, and Spilt Milk--a collective of artist-mums. In 2012 I won an Abbey Award Fellowship in Painting at the British School at Rome spending three months in Italy researching the history of the female nude. I subsequently won a year long housing and studio grant from the Roswell Artist in Residence Program, in which I produced a large body of work culminating in a solo exhibit at the Roswell Museum and Art Center. Whatever the subject matter of a painting, ultimately my artistic purpose is to experience the deep flow of creation and to impart that state of presence with the world. I desire to make art that creates more community and connection. Starting with a digital collage process, and creating watercolor studies from the collage, I then make several paintings slowly over many months, where sometimes they are sanded down and reworked taking on various incarnations, or in other cases the piece matures fluidly.
