Description

granular tease is Jess Tucker's commentary on the demands of an image, especially the image of a woman. Drawing on the symbolic genealogy of feminine origin myths—from Botticelli's rendering of Venus’s oceanic birth to the first Photoshop manipulation, Jennifer in Paradise—Tucker's work reveals the grotesque absurdity inherent in these enduring beachside fantasies. Created through custom AI processes that remap Jess Tucker’s face and movement data, granular tease occupies the liminal boundary between image and embodiment. The machinic attempt to render “woman on a beach” from a field of digital noise results in figures that hover—like Venus in contrapposto—between being and becoming, resisting both the finality of form and the dominance of the visual frame. Bodily contours morph like silly putty, and faces slide across sand like melting ice cream. Ungraspable forms tease the viewer’s urge to behold them; these fluid femmes are images refusing to do what they’re supposed to. Undulating amalgamations of flesh and limb squirm at the fluctuating edge of land and sea. Waves crash and recede, sandy curves pile and vanish, and these not-quite-bodies emerge, dissolve, and return. Nothing is fixed; all is perpetually in formation and dissolution.
