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
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.

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.
