Jessica Kitzman is an interdisciplinary artist, working primarily with domestic textiles. Jessica's work disrupts the function of these materials and rearranges their pieces into a space led by desire and intuition. The function is removed from these fabrics, leaving them with no purpose other than relating to one another in shape, color, and texture. Jessica has recently exhibited work with Soo Visual Art Center, Second Shift Studios, Gamut Gallery, and the Textile Center of Minnesota. She is a member of a local queer fiber artist collective, Embodied Material. She was a contributing artist in a collection of artwork and essays, “An Artist and a Mother,” published in 2023 by Demeter Press. Jessica holds a BFA from the University of Iowa and an MAT from the School of Visual Arts.
