JASACID is intrigued by the notion of the figure of the artist as a lone self, an isolated ‘mad genius’. She creates immersive and introspective physical and digital works that invite the viewer to consider what is often an intimate, but rather lonely, process for her personally; the images themselves act as a jumping-off point through which the viewer glimpses into Jas’ psychological landscape. She uses a limited palette of primarily purple, violet and blue hues as a homage to the artists and movements that resonate the most with her: the Romantics, the Impressionists, and 20th century European Abstract Expressionism. They, like her, see beauty in madness, and find comfort in honouring the legacy of the melancholic artist in contemporary society.
