Jesaca on her work:
I use photography to pursue what I do not fully understand. My projects are often an examination of the self in relation to what is in and outside of the self.What begins as self-centered inevitably evolves into universal.

LOOKS STERILE AND POSED. NOT FEELING THE CONTEXT. LIGHT IN BOTH ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE.

Good try but not much substance.

Beautiful… interesting to look at. Loved both of them a lot, but the second was my favorite. I look forward to seeing more work from you.

I like your work. You have something to say and you communicate it well. It is a great subject you have chosen: the paradox of the fleeting quality of life vs. the eternal quality of life.
Personally, I don’t like the gold balloon. May just be a difference in taste but I don’t like the gold balloon and I think you can find a better symbol for the fleeting nature of existance. It just strikes me as being wrong in my gut but my prejudice against mylar balloons may explain. I think you can find a better symbol of fleeting existence.
Your work with the layered photos on plexiglass with the beeswax is very successfully. I enjoyed it. Great materials.
Wishing you a successful career.

Nice work – I like your images. The residue series looks heavily influenced by my favorite photographer… Francesca Woodman.

Hey ya!
love the images, thought the artist statement a little too art school, but what the hey, thats what you are doing so, duh!
good luck to you.
don’t stop making images, no matter what you make money at, i read that only 10% of those graduating with a fine arts degree continue to make art after a year .
peace

Like your work. Brings one of my favorites to mind, Duane Michals.

Wow these are fabulous. The blurrings are haunting. Thought they were paintings at first. Lovely.
