Jessica Ellis is a performative research based artist that interrupts, dissects, and examines mechanisms of power through humor, empathy and Camp. She critically implements foundations of western tropes as well as their archetypal exteriors, as points of entry to explore their origins and political objectives. While the cornerstone of her practice lies in research, it’s important to Ellis that the form is open to evolution through the participation of collaborative subjects and the shifting environments, in which the work is produced. Rather than working within a preconceived form, she prefers the content to dictate its needs. Ellis works within the parameters of the American mythos and the consequences of the American crafted narrative, specifically, within social political relationships regarding the dynamics of control and hierarchical state manipulation within the working class. Her work strives to question the protagonists of our daily visual consumption and to investigate how they function within our social political landscape. Ellis considers the misidentification of a working class oppressor to be a primary byproduct of the crafted mythos and hopes the work can be an opportunity to process and identify these setbacks within our cultural framework. Ellis’ work often strives to produce layers of viewership that can include varied participation through combinations of empathic satire, derived nostalgia from the american canon and mimicry of forms of popular consumption. .

Throughout the series, I realized that my sex life and the work I did in the studio were inseparable. My sex life revolved around the paintings to the point where I could not afford to sleep with someone unable to participate in the series. The documents work as a reverse non disclosure agreement. Participants notified of the project before intercourse, then given the option if they wish to participate in the series, which was indistinguishable from the act itself. They are in no way binding by law, or by my personal standards due to my lack of interest in breaching someone's comfort level. The contracts are symbolic of the different forms of exchange that we encounter though sexual intercourse. The universal exchange was altered on my end through the work on the series and therefore altered on the end of anyone I engaged in sexual activity with. http://www.jessica-ellis.com/objects daily 0.75 2021-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1575598830252-6JOPL1A9W3RJV6DQQX7E/image-asset.jpeg Objects Greenburg Gold Leafed Extension Cord, Wax Coated Rope & Aluminum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571269270285-RMHNL5MYPBZQQXGF5B5C/IMG_4587.jpg Objects Flag, Aluminium & Tassels, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571262769957-AHUMBIFPR4YH987XOREB/04+Parameters+Of+Self+Portrait+%28new%29.jpg Objects Parameters of a Self Portrait, Acrylic, Hair, Fabric Wrapped Wire, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571263861483-2GGILPWTS8EJ76B58XHL/image-asset.png Objects Notated Cathedral, Mixed Media, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571271824720-YA3ESE46RX9FUAP0O533/IMG_7568.jpg Objects For Wulf Plaster, Acrylic & Gold Leaf 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571269152987-F11PII7QMK0YZTBEVRSB/image.png Objects Flag Aluminum, Thread, Plastic, Beer 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571268279238-NK62ANY13UERS58O25PJ/image-asset.jpeg Objects Flag Mixed Media 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571263263567-TUKYB32U00D8SUMHMQB3/03+Collected+Artifacts.jpg Objects Collected Artifacts From Everyone I Have Ever Slept With, Mixed Media, 2016 http://www.jessica-ellis.com/evel daily 0.75 2023-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571261989369-EB4YDPYADJ98DJ7GCGEQ/editedamericanflag.jpg 168 Hours of Evel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1619641754559-41HUMWOL8V4WQP8WL64C/image-asset.jpeg 168 Hours of Evel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1575826147548-VYWFY9DYEPUNPC61Y50A/evelemail.jpg 168 Hours of Evel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571262026525-0EODXLBB8ZJSGFDUQK29/image.png 168 Hours of Evel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1571261977529-ZYXJIZSXHR35FUQH7149/IMG_0381+%283%29.jpg 168 Hours of Evel http://www.jessica-ellis.com/gear-jammer-vs-eagle-eye daily 0.75 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55809354e4b0168a34977b72/1619640426102-H2V3IE0GNPIRV6XX5UU0/image-asset.jpeg Gear Jammer Vs.
