FRAGMENTS 2013 How we see people in small slivers of time
My daughter Danielle now lives in San Francisco so our personal visits capture only a small portion of her everyday existence; the remaining fragments are through photos, Facebook updates, text comments and Skype images projected
on a screen. This inspired me to think about seeing distant people in fragments rather than the whole and how often it is a manipulated or projected images, small slivers of reality. The fragmented shapes I used to create a
modern landscape are representative of the distance that separates us from people in our life, only physically not psychologically, thanks to technology.  The  broken shards that are used in this piece are from my shattered car window and other art experiments gone awry.


 REALITY

Picture
Technology provides other fragments to join slivers to make them whole .
 
In my latest experimental installation Fragments, I am using an image of my
daughter in three different applications. The first a portrait on canvas, second
portrait painted glass and third projected reflection and shadows from a
landscape created from a maze of fragments of mirror and glass. 

An oil portrait based on her Facebook and Skype icon 


 

BROKEN

Picture
A section of Danielle’s face projected from a painted
piece of  broken glass

SHATTERED

Picture
With in the reflected landscape are pieces of my car window,
from my last visit to San  Francisco when a thief needed my stereo.

Layerd Painted Glass
 A collection of painted shards of glass and mirror fragments
in the shape of recognizable landscapes such as fields,, crows, golden gate bridge, hills and mountain projected from a jewlery box.



ALIGNS

Picture
The painting and shadows align. Depending on which light you trun on is what is projected on the wall.

SPINNING

Picture
The painted jewlery box projects shadows of Danielles face, Golden Gate Bridge. Sonoma, Frank slide and crow on a wire.  The box is on turntable you rotate and the shadows projude mutiple views and effected which light is choosen.

SHADOWS

Picture
 Danielle’s icon image  painted on glass the illuminated refraction and shadows from a light shining  project on the wall
 

MANIPULATED REALITY

Picture
This interactive installation is hard to discribe or visualize.  There are a series of lights switches that you can turn on or off which control  the individual projections, up to four simutaniously on the wall and a turn table that rotates the projected shadows.

REFLECTIONS CUBED INSTALLATION 2012

by Lynnette Jessop 2012
Wood, mirrors, drawings, lighting, glass and shiny bits.
INSIDE THE KALEIDOSCOPE   - Jackson’s Square
Multiple mosaic views of a computer manipulation of my drawing of son Jackson align in affinity. Look up and down, he goes in all directions.

TRUE MIRROR  - You Look Different!
This mirror shows your true image and how others see you. With a true mirror you can read text in the mirror.  If you don’t think your reflection is any different, try tilting your head or pointing your finger. 

INFINITY MIRROR  - Shiny Birds
Infinity reflections of some of my favorite shiny things go off into infinity even though the mirrors are less than 2” apart.

OPTIC ILLUSION - Sticks and Stones
Of the items with in this open kaleidoscopic scene. Try to determine what is real and what is reflected in this cube. How many sticks and balls can you see?


 ART PENDULUM

YOU'RE BEING MANUPULATED - Big Picture 2011

YOU’RE BEING MANIPULATED 2011 
36”x24”  Mixed Media – Mirror, wood, photograph, vellum.
For this piece I am incorporating a kaleidoscope photograph of San Francisco Street Art printed on vellum, combined with sections of manipulated images of the viewer and surroundings.  Utilizing different mirror reflections, the viewer will see images of themselves, fragmented, shattered and distorted to create the art. If you change the way you look at things does it become better.   Are you manipulated when you look in a mirror? Is graffiti, art when manipulated?  Do you change your opinion when you look through different lens?  You will be seeing yourself  in different ways viewing You’re Being Manipulated.

Some traditional art from my studio.....
