All In Our Head
Mixed-media on paper series
Jessica Nissen
Artist Statement
The collectively titled “All In Our Head” drawings from this series are Rorschach-inspired and, much like a nonverbal version of Rorschach’s diagnostic system, I have the blots before me and respond by drawing into them, making sometimes small, or much broader interventions. There is a sense of immediacy in this action that allows me to work intuitively and fluidly. Each response is unique, yet subcategories of imagery emerge which reveal personal preoccupations: sometimes funny, or disturbing, or provocative.
