As an artist, she works primarily in collage, using stickers and found paper materials to create landscapes of human and other communities. In addition to her works on paper, Jessalyn designs posters, album artwork, and installations. She also publishes zines, dyes textiles using shibori methods, teaches English at a San Francisco public high school, and occasionally performs improvised vocal music. Jessalyn was thoroughly disappointed upon discovering that the opening line of Max Roach’s “Driva’ Man” is not, “The beach has an exciting history,” as she had believed previously. She participated in a two-person show, Of Course Not, at Swarm in 2012. |
