Jess Zeglin’s work uses an intimate, materials-based lens to draw connections between personal and ecological collapse, loss, change, and transformation. She uses the languages of drawing, textiles, installation, ecological study, found objects, and found sound, remixing inputs to create emergent artworks based within these themes. Her practice emphasizes process, research, emotion, and place by collecting and layering marks, stitches, sounds, and media over time to create materially-responsive and site-responsive works. 

We all share a time of continued ecological collapse and threats to bodily autonomy, safety, belonging, and care. In this context, Zeglin is driven by the desire to build an artistic practice in a way that creates protected spaces for herself and others to feel, think, rest, dream, and change. She maintains a studio practice based in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Ancestral Tiwa land.
