artist statement:

Loseby’s unashamedly low-tec net installations and video build comparisons of the network and digitality in its frustrations, attention to triviality and repetition as absurdly compatible to the female domestic routine. Themes dealing with individuality and cyber-identity reoccur frequently as do the faces of her three children who seem to be bound up irrevocably with her digital self. The weight of networked peer pressure haunts the work through its darkness and abstracted texts, which often seem to speak of isolation and confusion. There is also often a dark humour within the installations she creates, although this is often misinterpreted as flippancy. Traditional values of aesthetics and narratives are outworked through the use of muted colours and evocative imagery.

Jess Loseby is young(ish), has three children, one husband and no time!.
