Visual artist Jessica Pettway has a remarkable sense of
color and texture, often used in the abstract, which permeates her work. As Jessica stated: "Abstraction is the purest form".
When she turned her
attention towards the abstract kate, the fact that all commercial images of Kate involved
either smoking or her mouth being open led her towards the idea of obsessive
fixations.
Upon investigating the idea of her mouth and the ever present cigarette,
Jessica found reports of four smoking breaks
per hour built into each of Kate's contracts ... As such, Jessica decide to magnify kate's mouth and gesture as they exist in
the media space. She stated, "By focusing on the little bits, pieces and parts, often I
can show more."

Just like the SVA students ... Observe. Slow Down. Shoot.
