About me

Jess Allman's creative work explores the expansion of new technologies and their effect on human evolution within her multi-media practice. As a Fine Art student in Hull, she channels her ideas into semi-abstract mechanomorphic sculptures, using materials like clay and metal to manifest her vision. Her drawings and paintings serve as blueprints, offering visual aid for her sculptural creations. She draws her inspiration from science-fiction media, museum exhibits, transhumanist art and vintage medical illustration.

However, Jess's journey is not solely rooted in artistic expression. Wrestling with borderline personality disorder, she navigates the complexities of identity and stability. Amid this turbulence, the concept of the human anatomy becomes an anchor—a symbol of comfort, stability, and constancy in her life. Yet, the notion that technology is shaping human evolution stirs both fascination and fear within her.

Her art serves as a channel for these emotions and reflections, aiming to initiate a dialogue with the audience. Jess seeks to provoke contemplation about the evolving relationship between technology and human evolution. Through her work, she confronts the unsettling yet compelling idea that our very anatomy might transform in the face of advancing technology. Her ultimate goal is to spark discussions surrounding the fears and uncertainties tied to this evolution, inviting viewers to explore and engage with these thought-provoking themes.
