Jessica Stockholder states how her art is about pleasure. Whether making that art is pleasurable or not is another story entirely.
To make her art, Stockholder employs a multitude of random objects, such as refrigerators, bowling balls, paper, newspaper, light bulbs, laundry baskets, and whole lot more which she sometimes paints over.
The space which Stockholder's pieces will occupy really affects the execution of the piece itself. She likes to draw out the space and make a plan of the best way to situate her objects. Stockholder's works are also about systems and how things and thoughts are organized.
Installation pieces make up a majority of Stockholder's art. Although her installations are made up of representative objects, they are arranged in non-representative, chaotic compositions. Stockholder will also paint the objects in her works with bright, saturated colors. These vibrant colors also leak into her two-dimensional collages, which are made up of geometric and organic shapes.
What Stockholder tries to do with her art is offer a new way of seeing things. A new "world than the one that we experience as mundane."
