Jess Webb is an educator, artist, musician and idea maker. She works at helping her self and others to appreciate the delicate and humble overlooked tiny miracles through connection and collaboration. Jess touches things to feel whats under the surface. She listens to hear what's in between. She is an intuitive researcher and an acute observer. She is a nurturer and a healer and profoundly connected to the earth, with her relationship to body and soul she also maintains a child like playfulness which keeps her head in the clouds. -Jordan Knecht
Jess Webb attended Metro State University of Denver for spacial media and art education. She is currently an Artist for Meow Wolf, an immersive art installation company. Her Conceptual art is based around ideas of memory, time, dream states, the sublime, the essence of objects, places and people. The work is interested in how we experience and perceive a variety of sensory stimuli and how we catalogue this information into meaning. She is interested in how material and object hold depth and texture in their inherent history and how playing with context and relationship to other material and object makes new meaning.
Saskatoon is the musical project of Jess Webb and Paul DeHaven. The primarily ambient music project uses found sounds, melodic and textural layering. Jess’s approach to musicians is kindred to her approach to art.
