Working with the @jab.collective Reclaiming Intimacy aims to connect artists following the Covid 19 Pandemic. Francesca Hender was accepted via an Open Call.

JAB Collective is made up of three British artist based in the South London area. Consisting of Jas, Alfie and Bella, who met whilst studying Ba(Hons) Fine Art at Kingston School of Art, the group formed during the pandemic.

“When the only resources we had were each other and the studio environment, as a result, the collective was formed as a way to create a close community share between the three of us.”

The work is set to resemble transfiguration and spontaneous exploration, embodying the rather difficult journey through my own stubbornness and ego. It sort of summarises my personality, be it both negative and positive, while also allowing for me to look back and be self aware.
