Jes Moran is a Colorado-based artist working with painting and sewn textile processes. She creates large quilted paintings on raw canvas by painting, cutting, and sewing the work back together with a machine. The work is built through physical labor and reconstruction, where seams remain visible and the process is embedded in the surface, reflecting an interest in manual labor and the experience of working with one’s hands to sustain a life.
