Throwback to this unforgettable piece from Jessica Jenkinson’s BA work 🫀

Jessica’s practice has always been bold and unapologetic — examining the body, femininity, and what lies beneath the surface.

Her latest work takes that same raw energy in a whole new direction. See what she’s been developing this year at Echoes — our MA Creative Practice exhibition this September.
