Deadwood for A Day's March: Jessica Woodley
A Day’s March and Deadwood share a common goal – dressing those who shape culture, each in its own way. To mark our collaboration, we spent a day with five creatives in London and Stockholm, exploring their cities, their perspectives on creativity, and how they wear the new collection. This is Jessica Anne Woodley, multidisciplinary artist.
Jessica Anne Woodley is a multidisciplinary artist. Her first collection, Eternal Child, features practical sculptures inspired by self-enquiry and nurturing of the inner child. Through her work, Jessica endeavours to inspire joy and challenge seriousness, encouraging a playful connection to life's truth. We followed her around Chinatown and Soho to see her favorite places around London, and to try out the Deadwood for A Day's March collection for the first time.
A Day's March: How did art come into your life? Jessica: My grandmother rose was a fan of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and she always wore a broach of his design - I remember the rose so clearly and coincidentally my mothers best friend uncle Danny looks after Charles Rennie Mackintosh house in Glasgow the windy hill and I visited often blown away by his world his architecture his design that was the first time I saw art in the flesh i'll never forget how that felt. Do you have to dig deep to find your creative nature or do you feel it's natural to you? – I had to unlearn conditioning and limiting beliefs that got in the way of creating – then after realising it is only I in my way I could try new things.
Is your art based on the way you see the world? – Yes, it is a reflection of the discovery of the eternal child within. Are there any trade secrets you can share with someone who is about to enter your field? – There are no mistakes. What’s the most unexpected lesson you’ve learned while navigating your career? – It was to trust myself and to learn what inside is holding me back from trying new things to let go of fear of failure. Do not take anything personally! To let go of all possible outcomes and keep doing it for the joy of it as an offering.
What is a work of art or creation that has changed your perspective? – David Bowie's existence and the world he created was so inspiring he is free. Do you believe your current self is who you are meant to be? – I believe on the human level there is always room for growth but I fully accept and honour who I am in this present moment with gratitude on a soul level nothing has ever changed our essence by nature pure.
