Jessica Ketcham

Cascadia College Faculty
Jessica writes like she collects; messy piles
of specificity and obsession equally dot
the landscape of the rooms in her home
and in her mind. She takes the composition
of nachos, playlists, and love letters to
octopuses and squids very seriously. She is
currently writing a book about the cultural
consumption, manipulation, and production
of skin, and spends any extra captured
time playing with midi controllers, canvas,
and Oregon white clay (separately, though.
She’s responsible, after all). Jessica is a
professor of English at Cascadia College.

Letting the tiny dewdrops of my soul rest
upon what the day has for me, what God
has planned—that’s who I am. I’m eager to
play with the emotions that my brain has
swirling and put it on paper, making them
raw and eager so that every time I read
them again, I feel the ache of their joy or
pain.

My work is intensely personal and conceptual. I work in many methods, telling stories.
I seek to question our most commonly held notions. My work is about associations and
creating a discourse between objects, ideas, subjects and the viewer. I love connections;
they are my joy, the things I look for at all times and which permeate my work. Feel free to
check out my blog here: http://xavierlopezjr.blogspot.com/

I am a 16-year-old student at Northshore
Networks. I love to write poetry and spend
time outdoors. I grew up around horses and
bonfires, and love to share stories.

I have always enjoyed creating things,
whether digitally, or with paint and canvas,
photography, or any other materials I can
find. This is my first publication, which is
exciting. I will be attending the University
of Washington Seattle beginning in autumn
2016 as a freshman, and hope to continue
creating art.
