i am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.

i do not have many things that are meaningful to me. except my doubts and my fears. and my art.

if you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. to please many is bad.

to make people free is the aim of art, therefore art for me is the science of freedom.

A Recipe for Magic 

Pentax Spotmatic w/ Agfa Vista 200

I use the pseudonym Jessica Ashley Unknown to represent my film-based photography. I use film manipulation, including film soaks, multiple exposures, film scanning techniques and now mixing other medium with my photos to create my imagery.

All the photos you see were taken on one of two rolls of AGFA Vista 200 colour film that were soaked in aftershave overnight prior to shooting in a Pentax Spotmatic.

You can see more of my work on my website or on my Instagram @jaunknown.

1. Do not hate them for it. They are on a journey too. 2. Understand that sometimes you will be a bandage caressing a temporary wound or you will be a pinnacle of permanency rooted deeply in their heart. Accept that you do this to people too. 3. Do not step on your feet trying to find a rhythm you are not meant to follow. 4. Do not let it harden you: continue to nurture, continue to love. 5. People use words as anchors to latch onto bits of you and when they leave remind yourself that the sea never bled itself dry because a ship left it. 6. Write the nastiest letter and burn it. 7. Yes, they may have illuminated pieces of you that you were unaware existed. But now you do and they are not the last person to remind you. 8. Dizzy yourself with everything you love, like dancing in the greenhouse to horrid pop songs or reading Haruki Murakami. 9. Set all that anger ablaze, you are wasting your time sifting through it. 10. Internalize the fact that you were still breathing before you met them. 11. Forgive them.

I’ve never done anything but dream. This, and this alone, has been the meaning of my life.
