Jess Clark
BA Illustration
I am an illustrator who specialises in photomontage, using traditional methods of mark making, gathering found ephemera, all of which can then be translated into digital editorial illustrations or into alternative publishing (zines!). My work aims to elevate the narratives given within editorial articles, as well as adding my own creative flair through a little bit of chaos. At current I am particularly interested in working with stories revolving around sociopolitical, environmental, and humanitarian issues, however I am open to exploring new things!
Throughout my final months at NUA I have really taken the time to nurture my visual identity through my project ‘Never mind the oblivion’, where I sought to enlighten those who may not endeavour to engage with current affairs through the use of eye-catching collages. This project has aided me in becoming a confident illustrator ready to take on the world of editorial illustration and beyond.
