Deluge Contemporary Art - Artist Jessica Wozny


Jessica Wozny
"Last Drop First Flame"
July 3 to August 1, 2009


Wozny exhibits a series of site-specific drawings and sculptural installations which reference the gallery's history as Victoria's first firehall. The artist's work harnesses and considers the contradictory and ambiguous nature of fire and water to create an elemental metaphor for creation itself where the idea of the "Prozesshaftigkeit" of nature—as something from which arises a constant state of becoming—allows for an adaptive mutability of the mediums themselves.

Jessica Wozny is a German-born artist who has been living and working in Mexico for the last 13 years. She has exhibited extensively internationally and throughout Mexico, most recently as part of Paréntesis: 17 años de trabajo, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca, (MACO), and NOW. Transformation. Spaces at Casa de Lago in Mexico City. With Luis Hampshire, she is the cofounder of Ediciones Plan B, a curatorial collective based in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Wozny is represented by Manuel Garcia Arte Contemporaneo, Oaxaca, Mexico.
