Jesse Dekel - Collage Artist

Ōtepoti, Aotearoa

Jesse Dekel is an artist and writer based in Ōtepoti, Aotearoa New Zealand. She makes art about homelessness, sex work, neoliberal ‘urbanism’ as well as a litany of degenerate topics appealing to insufferable tragediennes in the punk scene. Her interests include shoplifting from record stores, and hitting people with chains.

Most of my life has been pretty strongly shaped by being this isolated transient immigrant and having nowhere to rely on or go, I guess which is 'punk' without the camaraderie of community. Classic 'Wandering Jew' shit.
