JESSICA OWINGS
Language, landscape, and the disconnect between people and places are thought-filled spaces within which Jessica situates her investigations. Resulting ideas and schemes are supplemented and informed by collaboration, compulsive collection, and random acts of giving. With experience in fine art and commercial printing, her artistic endeavors merge artistic concepts with design constructs. Much of the work is presented as series or sequence, using these traditionally commercial aspects of printmaking to compose her studio work. Ideas manifest in the form of drawings, paintings, cut paper, books, and various printmaking techniques including relief, silkscreen, intaglio, and digital printmaking.
These days Jessica juggles her time between managing the INKubator PRESS, a community printmaking studio at the Arts Incubator of Kansas City, dreaming and scheming in the print studio, rehabbing her home, dabbling as a lackadaisical gardener, and riding her bicycle. Generally Jessica’s hands are stained with ink, soil, or grease. Check out her work HERE
