Description

Known for her ephemeral and ethereal works informed by personal or collective memories, Jessica Warboys (b. 1977) works across a wide range of media, including performance, film, sculpture, and painting. Beautifully illustrated, Jessica Warboys: Hill of Dreams investigates the artist's use of symbolism, her vocabulary of forms, and her approach to landscape.

Warboys often combines her materials with a natural element, such as water or the sun, applying pigment directly onto large-scale canvases before submerging them into the sea and allowing the waves to distribute the colour. The action is deliberately related to performance, and the resulting canvases create a physical document of her collaboration with the sea.

Published to accompany a touring exhibition, this book brings the work of a rising star to a new audience.
