Since graduating from a Masters of Architecture in 2014, Jessica has worked in architectural practice in conjunction with working part-time as a lecturer for Griffith Architecture & Design. The role with Griffith Architecture & Design has allowed Jessica to pursue creative research interests alongside traditional research outputs which have been published nationally and internationally.
2021 SWELL ARTWORK – Inmost Pavilion, Jessica Harris
The COVID-19 pandemic has offered the opportunity to reflect critically on how we occupy and inhabit space. Inmost plays with an intimate scale relative to a singular user and encourages people to reflect upon their isolation experience. The envelope of the pavilion is not a definitive barrier, rather the layers of translucent fabric screens allow for interaction with the external environment.
When inside, the viewer is encapsulated and the subtle movement of the fabric also symbolises a common element of the residential environment that hosted the self-isolation experience, the curtain.
