（British, b.1985)
Jessica Rayner received her Master of Art from prestigious Royal College of Art. Majoring in printmaking and painting provides Rayner multiple resources to create with different materials. In 2012, Rayner was included as a finalist in Deutsche Bank Awards which uncovered her potential in contemporary art. Recently, she works on several light projects in Nordic countries and continues her investigations into the properties of lenses, prisms, light and human perception.
We think we see the world directly,” says Jessica Rayner, “but it’s the mind that provides meaning to what we see.” While traveling to Iceland, Svalbard and Greenland, Rayner was exposed to different perspective towards nature apart from her personal experience growing up in London. She began to examine the science, technology and energy of ‘things’, and focuses on ‘light’ and ‘human perception’.
By adopting a wide range of media, including photography, drawing, video, printmaking and three-dimensional sculpture, she offers stories of origination, discovery, scientific analysis and social meaning. Granting viewers another point of view to see the world.
