Jessica Broad

My current body of work revolves around a fascination with the microscopic, with the fragility of life, and the beauty found in parts of nature we tend to ignore. I grew up exploring the seashores and forests of New England. I would spend hours studying the life in tide pools, or a tiny ecosystem with ferns, toads and fungi on the forest floor. I imagined that I was part of these miniature worlds and could derive endless fascination from observing the life that no one else seemed to notice. These early predilections have translated themselves into my present interest in representing the unseen, uncelebrated world of microscopic life (the life that, while tiny and ephemeral, supports all other life on Earth) and the effects of human activities, like agriculture, on this world.
