ARTIST INTERVIEW
Jessica Vaughn
A year into the pandemic, artist #jessicavaughn (Penn MFA ’11) was asked what the experience was like putting together this exhibition at ICA giving us a peek into her process, creative mind, and her thoughts on slowing down.
"I've always really enjoyed ICA’s space and exhibitions. It’s nice to come back to a familiar location and to have such a great opportunity to exhibit in Philadelphia. Although this exhibition was going up under difficult circumstances, the conditions of the space still felt familiar. That is not to say that it wasn’t a challenge working during COVID. The majority of the exhibition planning with the ICA was done over screens and not in person. Not being able to directly interact with #people and sometimes even directly with the material was a new way of working for me. But it was really great to be able to trust and work so well with the team at the ICA. And, in general, the pandemic slowed down the pace of every aspect of creating work for this show. But you know, there's also something great about being forced to slow down and really consider things in a different way. I think the slowing down was good for this exhibition."
