Jessie Imam

Jessie Imam was born in Melbourne in 1987 and has completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photomedia) at Monash University in 2009. She has previously exhibited in group shows around Melbourne and in Launceston and has collaborative work showing internationally.

Imam’s most recent works centre around themes of death, transition and traces. She takes a mythological approach and uses elements in her pieces to spark conversations surrounding truth, reality and a tension between memory, vitality and death. Although from a photographic background, Jessie’s practice also includes sculpture, installation, painting and the moving image.

Jessie’s work has been included in exhibitions Aesthetic Positioning (Melb), Ambidextrous (Melb), Suspicious Minds (Launceston), Love, Art school & Death (Melb) and Cafe Nu (Melb). More information can be found at jessieimam.com
