Studio AHEAD

Recently we visited the home and studio of Jessie Turner ____lil_j____ , an artist working mainly in textile and mixed media collage. On her walls are cyanotypes of leaves and fern fronds; large geometric posters, including a stunning monochrome of sheep in silhouette at Sea Ranch; a ceramic rock clock, which she hand-made to tell the time by pointing to stones; and whatever collages and crochet patterns she’s currently working on, all reflecting the natural and mystical dimensions of her work.

Many of Turner’s collages and crochet pieces suggest early herbariums and lapidaries, with the objects of study laid out on a single plane. In this her collage work is unusual because the cut-out components rarely overlap. Instead, each thing is given its own space.

Rock Plinth in brushed aluminum featuring a found stone from the Yuba River.

The plinth provides a shared space for stone and flower.

The man-made form exists only in response to its organic counterpart.

The plinth’s contour repeats the rock’s unique outline.

Each piece is unique.
