Everything outside falls into a resting state. The contrast of natural order, fallen snow, to the chaos underneath. We're left with our thoughts, alone, in the darkness of shortened days. The creation awaits during the seemingly static nature of winter. The body, a reduction valve meant to limit our perception of reality for the sake of its own survival. The figures are inspired by Tintoretto's work, The Origin of the Milky Way. The mother is partially unwilling. The life force drawn out through sacrifice, there is creation. The woman, Juno pushing the baby, Hercules, away. He acquires immortality through her milk. The droplets create the stars above and Christmas lilies below. The multicolored ribbons symbolize the fabric of time. Winter to spring, a marriage of mother earth to father time. The depiction of the gods Zeus and Juno in motion are reminders that faith is not a passive state. Just as one has faith that the plants, appearing dead, are just resting and will return to life in the spring. Juno, pushing this baby away, is retaining her power.

Jessica Matier attended Parsons School of Design. In 2016 she departed from watercolor and collage practices to pursue a mixed media approach to abstract painting. Her work was in group exhibitions in the New York City, New Jersey, Chicago, FSU Museum of the Arts, and The Other Art Fair, Brooklyn. In 2019 Rutgers University acquired the painting, Natural Things, on display at the Camden Center of the Arts. Matier was born in South Korea in 1985. When she was three months old, she was adopted and raised in New Jersey, where she currently resides. Statement I create internal landscapes to illustrate the flow of energy to dispense overlooked ideas that subconsciously dictate my present thoughts and actions. I intend to create opportunities for self-growth, and in effect, illustrate the collective progression of humankind. I add mythical and alchemical symbols to punctuate self autobiographical images to serve as references for the metastory based on the transcendence of everyday lives into ideal states of being. I utilize all water-based mediums at a vigorous pace to execute a painting without interruption from second thoughts and trivial tangents. The interactions between the mediums transmute themselves into an image appearing out of an unknown origin. I simultaneously amplify the materiality through pastel mark-making and brushstrokes of acrylic to differentiate between the abstract subjects within a piece. The variety of visual elements intend to invoke harmony, translating into a sense of inner peace.
