I’m Jordan Maya Brown, a 22-year-old multimedia artist creative from Los Angeles. My work spans analog and digital photography, filmmaking, writing, painting, and drawings. All of my work feels one with me, hard to fully measure or discuss, but I’m fascinated with the everyday world cast with shadow, new colorations, and capturing the repetitive motions of life. With my paintings, I’m drawn to contemporary artists like Gerhard Richter and Willem de Kooning and try to capture the unseeable colored layer that stands between me and the world. It melts and mixes and settles and moves and only holds still for a picture frame or wooden canvas. I photograph moments in my life that don’t seem to let me go, that tug at a place inside of me that irks, photos that seem almost immoral to leave unattended. With my writing, I start from a place of bewilderment, enticing fascination for what I’m only dancing around to describe, and get only inches closer to what I actually see. I write from a creative place of misunderstanding to being enveloped in a new discovery. As a filmmaker, I tell stories that won’t let go of my attention and aim to share my enthusiasm on a person, subject, or idea that keeps holding on.
