About​

Jessica Waters Gordon (b. 1981), lives and works between Wee Waa and Port Stephens, Australia. She is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in painting, video and installation. Gordon’s practice playfully and critically recontextualises familiar images and objects, shifting them into unexpected, often absurd frameworks to disrupt their original narratives. Whether transforming Botticelli’s young men painted in hues of blue, or performing futile acts such as rollerblading across the soft resistance of sand dunes, Gordon provokes a reconsideration of cultural icons and everyday objects. These works operate in the space between homage and subversion, where historical art references collide with contemporary adaptations, revealing the beauty, humour, and constructed nature of meaning.
