Jo's new work incorporates TEXT starting the with words "I AM" over her paintings.

This exciting new work looks at polarity and considers how currently we use TEXT (or language) to exposes thoughts about important moments. Yet, incorporating language into visual art can feel like too easy, almost like giving the viewer the answer to a question they haven't been asked yet.

The bold colors and "all caps" text scream important messages about Culture, Sexuality, Opression and Gender. However, the typical beauty of Jo's work somehow works all of this contradiction into a sensual harmony.
