Conversations: Jessika de Wahls

After getting off a stop late and starting at the wrong end of a long street, then knocking on the wrong door and remembering post-script about a side entrance, I found myself at home in Jess's flat and studio in Brixton sipping on a very nice cup of tea chosen from an impressive selection, whilst Jess finished off the last of a homemade smoothie. I caught Jess on a studio day, in financial support of her practice and also for the enjoyment of it Jess also works as a hairdresser at the Salon de Wahls where you can get an exceptionally good cut, (as I now know personally), whilst hidden away in the basement of the Soho Theatre. Her determined and vivacious demeanour lent itself well to both trades, and undeniably benefitted her crowd funding project. Leaving the flat well past necessary time for interview a hug, a business card, advice, and later Facebook friends, were exchanged.
