Prompt: inspired by Jessie Coles, create a still life of objects in your home using collage.
Jessie Coles has painted from observation and has focused on still life for most of her career. Sadly, the artist became increasingly allergic to both oil and acrylic paint and has been on the hunt for a new medium which feels authentic and doesn’t make her sick. After much experimentation and many false starts, Jessie started to make collages with painted papers (like the one that was included SSG’s October 2019 exhibition, She’s in Monochrome).
