Wendy Jacobs

I use color and texture in ways that allow the passage of light. I am excited by luminescence, translucence, and luster. I emphasize the use of unusual, transparent mediums: sausage casings, plastics, vinyl, chamois, and tissue papers. In the use of plastics or vinyl, I search for effects that disguise their inherent industrial, non-organic characteristics. The inspiration for my present body of work is the ocean. It includes an analysis of the interplay of color, light, and movement in water along with a study of the extravagant character of shapes and textures in the ocean’s living forms. The City & Guilds courses have affected my development as an artist dramatically. I would never have been able to say my name and the word artist in the same sentence without this experience.
