Imagine You Are Safe Here by Jessica Kranz, Monoprint, Acrylic Paint
Artist Statement
As a collage artist, I revel in the process of gathering fragments of the world—whether it’s snippets of magazines, colorful pigments, or found objects—and weaving them together to create new narratives and visual landscapes. This versatile approach allows me to explore the endless possibilities of storytelling and expression across various media, from traditional paper collage to mosaic to print and beyond.
Imagine: You Are Safe Here is a singular piece within a larger project titled You Are Safe Here. This collection of prints and objects turns a questioning lens towards the concept of Safety. Through layers of imagery, texture, and symbolism I ask You, the viewer – what does Safety mean? Who it is for? What does it feel like in your body?
My creative practice reflects my belief in the power of art to transcend boundaries and ignite the imagination. I believe that art helps us to better know ourselves and each other. It is a journey of exploration, experimentation, and discovery, guided by a deep reverence for the beauty and complexity of the world we inhabit.
