Anna Jessett is an Australian artist working in the fields of drawing and painting. Her latest pieces explore surreal dreamscapes derivative of her experiences of womanhood along with the nostalgia of ‘girl-hood’.
Anna’s pieces aim to convey the overwhelming and disorienting experiences of this time using contorted, hyper-feminine figures set in dreamy domestic environments. Anna’s works are seen by her as physical manifestations of her insecurities and inner thoughts and emotions. ‘Campy’ and Highly glamourised, Anna hopes to create a humorous spin on the inner struggles of womanhood. Her pieces take inspiration from past experiences and dreams that have impacted her way of thinking and experiencing the world around her. These inspirations manifest into surrealist images that experiment with colour, perspective and imagery.
Anna seeks to make light of the struggles of womanhood in a self-deprecating and comical way. She invites her viewers to relate to her pieces with projections of their own experiences
