Jessica Douglas is an abstract artist who creates artwork in a wide range of mediums, including paint, metal, and plastic. Her work employs the language of geometric abstraction to emphasise visual ambiguity, incompatibility, and connection. Her artistic practice utilises bright and bold colours in combination with these geometric forms to create an allusive and illusionary surface.

Douglas began practicing art in the 1980s. Her work is held in public New Zealand collections including the Christchurch College of Education and the University of Canterbury. Cells featured work from two distinct bodies of creation, employing a multi-media approach.

In the artist words, “my practice has developed from an interest in exploring the duality of binary relationships such as inside and outside, and from my use of the circle as a metaphor to reference the transference, seepage and flow between bounded entities.”
