Mariko Jesse

My work tends to explore my ideas about identity and mixed heritage, and I often use and create patterns, as their visual language can express emotions and carry cultural meanings in subtle ways.

I find beauty in ordinary things: the humble objects of our everyday lives, and through them I explore my ideas about sense of place and belonging.

I have exhibited internationally, and my art can be found in private collections around the world. I specialise in intaglio and Japanese woodblock printmaking.
