Jessa Fairbrother
Photography, performance and needle are central to my practice. I use the body-as-site to explore communal meanings, concerned with making explicit the moment when performed gesture and gaze of the viewer collide. Emotional exchanges between artwork and audience was sparked by originally training as an actor, working in journalism, and nurtured by an MA in Photographic Studies (University of Westminster 08-10). I now perform in my still images, piercing and embroidering to employ process as action.
