Jessie Webster

What would the earth be like if creatures of the past came into being?

​

Jessie Webster creates symbiotic beings that hold form in an in-between state, merging the human and non-human.Through use of liquid materials such as latex, glue and plaster, similar to anti-form artist Eva Hesse. Webster mimics the fragile fluid nature of skin  with uncomfortable bright yellow tones which alienate the forms with its synthetic plasticity.

​

By situating her hybridised forms alongside objects of familiarity, she urges a thought towards our current genetic technologies that bring closer a reality where de-extinction is  a possibility, and a question of  what this could mean for our,and the organic worlds future
