Jessika ( Jessica ) Heholt: Fervent confession, violent cries or zealous laughter never accurately convey the intensity of my internal passions. In moments of heightened emotion I retreat to my room, thirsting for a means of expression. My room is a collection of objects possessing sentimental value organized decoratively. I arrange them jointly making allegories watching them come to life. Their colors, shapes, texture and dialogue mimic frustrations, pleasures and situations. The objects are then transformed into paintings making a visual diary. Marks range from smooth to textured, intricate to loose depending on mood and aesthetic exploration. The lengthy process allows dual contemplation of form and metaphor. When completed and displayed the viewer is free to interpret, sympathize or empathize the work. Instead of exasperating communication understanding is gained.
