This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Installations created by Jessica Stockholder contain, "concentrated colors, forms and liberties," that are unreal, described as "fiction." She uses objects such as, wooden planks, fabrics, lattice work, cables, alongside refrigerator doors,cinema seats and plastic bags are all stretched and mounted to "form perspectives and aligned as in a picture."
Stockholder began as a painter, but worked into sculpture and installation. Her work as a painter is reflected in her use of covering all the materials with paint or compositional counterparts in pure color.
