Volume 15.2 ✧ Summer 25
Jill Bemis
JILL BEMIS is an interdisciplinary artist and poet. Growing up along the coastal marshland of Massachusetts has had perhaps the biggest impact on her art-making practice; the tide gifted Jill an example of slowness, rhythm, and mystery. Jill received her MFA from Lesley University, and is an adjunct professor in the Boston, MA area.
Jill buried a 1960s field guide describing the flora and fauna of her hometown and let the ground eat away at it for nine months. When she dug up this book, she began to “translate” the text. The brackets are an abstracted suggestion to rips in the original pages.
