THE PROCESS : JESSICA DUNEGAN



Jessica Dunegan working with epoxy, also know as liquid glass, in her home studio.

My paintings are created using a mixture of epoxy resin and acrylic paint.  I squeeze tubes filled with paint directly into a layer of resin while it is still in liquid form.  The opaque strands of paint remain loosely delineated and hover within the transparent resin.  Once the initial layer dries, I repeat this process many times to create physical dimension.  The result is a unique and organic representation of movement and depth.

My subjects may look realistic from afar, but upon further inspection, they are comprised of suspended, chaotic lines.  I want to capture each animated form in time and celebrate its imperfections.
