Jessica’s work explores the transformation of natural forms through distortion, abstraction, and layering. Inspired by organic patterns—such as eroded rocks, skeletal leaves, and cracked earth—her work manipulates textures and structures until they hover between the familiar and the alien. Working primarily in monochrome with inks, charcoal, and printmaking, Langdon investigates the tension between order and entropy, permanence and transience, inviting viewers to reflect on the instability and fluidity of the natural world.

During the residency, she has expanded her ink-based drawings into new territories, experimenting with large-scale paper surfaces and gestural brushstrokes in ink and water-soluble graphite. Alongside these works on paper, she introduced materials gathered directly from the earth—soil, stones, and root fragments—allowing the land itself to mark and shape the work. By combining soil and water, she cultivated unexpected textures and organic stains, while her experiments with mod roc and glue gave rise to small sculptural forms reminiscent of tree roots or branching blood vessels.
