Words
Illustrator and artist Jess Warby takes experiences from the domestic trivialities of every day and transforms them into witty textile drawings. Having studied illustration at uni, Jess knows very well how to construct a popping image, but always adds her own twist to the equation. Tufting, sewing and printmaking are staple methods in her practice; nimble exercises that help to add character to simple storyboards or the humorous anthropomorphism of objects. Pretty much anything can inspire Jess, and it’s often the more ordinary scenarios that end up gracing her charming textiles.
