Jess Coldrey is a creative technologist working in Melbourne (Naarm) and London.

Her art is characterised by a dreamlike quality, exploring themes of identity, climate change, and futurism. She incorporates natural elements like plants, animals, and landscapes, often with a mystical touch. Influenced by surrealism, her work features unexpected juxtapositions with a stock-like quality, sometimes integrating robotic elements. Using textiles, photography, and digital media, Coldrey creates rich, layered pieces. Her work, which she considers 'expanded collage,' is inspired by strong research underpinnings. Globally exhibited at galleries including the Tate Britain and Australian Museum of Photography, her art aims to spark new conversations about biodiversity, technology, and inclusion to inspire curiosity in others.
