Jessica Dupuis makes mixed media sculptural ceramic work. Dupuis describes her process as experimental as she uses a combination of clay slip and found discarded materials like newspaper, cardboard, and furniture.
Each of the functional objects or pieces of furniture have been directly used in Dupuis? life from childhood furniture to cardboard boxes used in her studio. She covers each item in a combination of slip and newspaper that are then fired to create ?shards?. Arranging and adhering the shard fragments to their base objects creates new art objects: panels, boxes, and even twin bunk bed parts that hang on the wall. Dupuis? most recent work (c. 2016) moves toward a subdued palette of pink, blue and yellow while layers of shards create a highly textured, sharp and delicate looking surface.
