Art Style
Jemima Wyman uses the idea of camouflage in her artwork. Camouflage as a social, formal, and political technique is explored by her. She Combines using a variety of materials to illustrate the playful subterfuge found in camouflage dynamics. In one of her recent works patterning and masking are used to investigate the concept of visual resistance. Through her research, She's gathered a massive archive of masked demonstrators and liberation forces engaged in just this kind of deception. Her work has uncovered reoccurring patterns and trends that groups employ to forge a shared identity. 'Communal skins,' she calls these garments.

Jemima Wyman IMA at TCB
Artist Jemima Wyman takes inspiration from the window displays in nearby boutiques to design More Jungle than Paradise from September 10 - October 12, 2008. Based on the subcultural style of street gangs and liberation armies. She displayed a wallpaper painting heavily textured with images of the clothing, her unique uniform balaclavas with artificial eyes, and plaid flannel shirts embroidered with face-mask logos. Her designs, which reflect the idea of urban camouflage, propose a way to conceal one's identity.
