The intimate scale of jewellery is a central factor in Jessica's practice. She strives to create work that has a tactile delicacy and that rewards the wearer's close attention with an intricate and detailed surface. Over recent years Jessica has developed an experimental approach to enamel by which she seeks to create work with an ambiguous and expressive surface quality. Recent work uses etching techniques to create delicate layers of barely legible handwritten text and repeated marks that reference handwriting practice. These etched pieces are often made up of multiple layers with overlays of monochrome mark or text uppermost allowing for glimpses of underlying enamel.
