Jessica Pass

BA (Hons) Fine Art

My series of work is an exploration of a mindful phenomena.
I aim to successfully understand a mindful practise that combines art and meditation.
Something beneficial to my well-being, physically and mentally.

My work relies on techniques that are methodical, repetitive and therapeutic.
Processes that reflect the awareness and repetition we find in meditation.
By exploring this alongside theories such as breath psychotherapy,
I can achieve a state where I am more mindful, allowing me to create a mark in one motion.
The mark is unique to that moment, that breath and that state of mind.

The process I must take to create a piece is crucial.
Each step, the preparation and the materials I use, all lead up to one expressive mark.
A better state of mind.
An Enso circle – perfectly depicting a moment of mindful creativity.

I want my practise to become a way of living.
Something that heals me, calms me and focuses my mind.
It needs to become a way of escaping the external world.
The concept is simple and should be viewed in the same way.
I want the viewer to purely look at my work with ease, tranquillity and clarity.
No deeper meaning or extreme message.
Just a simple expression of a mindful state and a meditative process.

I do not aim to perfect the practise of meditation.
But want to learn and develop my own knowledge and skill.
Simply to explore a mindful way of making art.


Mae fy nghyfres o waith yn ystyried ffenomen ystyriol.
Fy nod yw dod i ddeall ymarfer ystyrlon sy’n cyfuno celf a myfyrdod. Rhywbeth sydd yn fuddiol i fy lleisiant, yn gorfforol ac yn feddyliol.

Mae fy ngwaith yn dibynnu ar dechnegau trefnus, sy’n ail-adroddus ac yn therapiwtig. Prosesau sy’n adlewyrchu’r ymwybyddiaeth a’r ailadrodd a gawn wrth fyfyrio. O ystyried hyn ochr yn ochr â damcaniaethau megis seicotherapi anadlu, gallaf gyrraedd cyflwr lle dw i’n fwy ystyriol, gan ganiatáu i mi greu marc mewn un symudiad.
Mae’r marc hwnnw yn unigryw i’r foment honno, yr anadl hwnnw a’r cyflwr meddwl hwnnw.

Mae’r broses y mae rhaid i mi ei defnyddio i greu darn yn hollbwysig.
Mae pob cam, y paratoi a’r deunyddiau dw i’n eu defnyddio i gyd yn arwain at un marc mynegiannol.
Cyflwr meddwl gwell.
Cylch Enso – yn darlunio’r foment o greadigrwydd ystyrlon yn berffaith

Rydw i am i fy ymarfer ddatblygu’n ffordd o fyw.
Rhywbeth sy’n fy iacháu, sy’n fy nhawelu ac yn ffocysu fy meddwl.
Rhaid iddo ddod yn fodd o ddianc rhag y byd allanol.
Mae’r cysyniad yn syml a dylid edrych arno yn yr un modd
Dw i am i’r gwyliwr edrych ar fy ngwaith yn ddibryder, mewn llonyddwch a gydag eglurder.
Heb unrhyw ystyr ddyfnach na neges eithafol.
Dim ond mynegiant syml o gyflwr ystyrlon a phroses fyfyriol.

Nid perffeithio’r ymarfer o fyfyrio ydy fy nod.
Ond dw i am ddysgu a datblygu fy ngwybodaeth a fy sgil fy hun .
Dim ond i archwilio dull ystyrlon o greu celf

My artwork was initially inspired by the rave scene which is usually an intense environment of music, colour and lights. I decided to recreate the feelings that my experience evoked, with the use of illuminative acrylics and spray paints on canvas. As spray painting...

Our species has become increasingly disconnected from nature. I focus on landscapes of personal significance and/or landscapes that have been disrupted by industrial use. Materials from these sites (often rocks, muds, and bricks) are used through a process-orientated...

Non-linear narratives such as unreliable memories, leaky dreams and deja vu are a central reference within my practice. I address the structure of these forms of narrative using repetition, replication and iterations of time. My work is largely sculptural, using...

Exploring the fragmentation of memory through the physicality of found objects and the spoken word, my work has become an archive of my family history. Due to the archival nature of my work, I replicate ways of preserving my objects through the attentiveness of their...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
