I walk along the island
Introducing Decca or as her friends call her Jessie, who has photographed art directed and modelled in our latest shoot. Jessie graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2021 where she studied fine art photography, she is now a practicing mixed media artist based between North Norfolk and London. She specialises in film, photography and the spoken word, her work embodies themes of solitude, journey, endurance, feminism and the sense of other. Working in the landscape she explores the figure experimenting with the abstract and the spirit of place. She is an amphibious creature and works alone.
‘I walk along the island the dunes winged in a bright May light taking the marsh path my mind wanders elsewhere, and I exist only in this space. I become the ground I walk on, skin sinking into the sand in the land of the morning I am alone on the island. The day feels as bottomless as the wash, sun sluices down floods the beach and I dance in the shallows before slinking into the surf where the sea surges through me, wave upon wave of life, life found on the island. So plunged in this place, I’ll be diving in, diving into the tide as mermaids, ripe and blinking in salt.’
