This collection of photography includes digital art self-portraits that were shot and then processed and/or collaged solely on iPhones. (2012- Present)

This collection of photographs includes self-portraits and stills from performances since 2009. My regular art practice encompasses character work: improvising performance; working with costumes, gesture, voice, & props; gestating characters within the self-portrait photography shoot practice. Work is also shot on iPhone video for YouTube, Instagram, Vine, Twitter.

Collection of text art made on the iPhone (many in the Mood app), and shared across my social media.

@jillwrites: toward an online aesthetic of self

Screenshots of iPhone glitches, including upload malfunctions that result in online social media glitch arts (like twelve posts of the same text art)—upload-glitch art.

This performance-in-photography self-portrait wears hats backwards and/or wears mini-skirts. This Social Media Art series places the forty-something sexual subject within the context of the everyday mixed-generation internet on Instagram & Twitter. It utilizes teenage fashion tropes to engender desire and social intrigue. It’s about the return of adolescent and then dirty30 desire in the 40s.

This photography installation was exhibited in the visual art group show accompanying “Noise Carousel”, a group sound installation curated by Patrick Grenier at Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island, NY, USA). (Photo prints, string, clothespins, thumbtacks. 2011.) The photography shown is a series that consists of 9 consecutive shutter clicks that were taken in a 35 second time frame through the window of a moving subway. They are hung on a musical staff made of craft string. Their spacing is not equidistant—but rather, it is spaced to give expression to the staggered nature of the seconds passing between the shutter clicks. The letters on the musical staff, rather than the expected G and F clefs, are actually the artist’s initials— J & W, for JillWrites.

This collection of photographs are shot with early mobile phone technology (Motorola & T-Mobile phones in 2006-7).

This set was shown in a solo exhibition at the Greenbelt Nature Center in Staten Island, New York, in 2009. A photo from the series remains in the Greenbelt Nature Center's collection.

This set documents temporary installations and details from my studio practice during my time completing my Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Rather than utilize the space as a neutral workroom, I maintained a fluid practice of mural art; mixed media gallery; sculpture development; object arrangements; and (temporary) full installations.

Ongoing collection of digital art photography created by scanning/photographing decades-old travel snapshots and re-processing them utilizing digital technologies, primarily iPhone apps. The series may also be seen on my Flickr (https://flickr.com/photos/79833623@N00/sets/72157677061163791) and on my photography homepage.

Catalog narrative archive are some of my concerns in choosing the items & sharing text to accompany them.
