Jess Bush

Jess Bush (born 26 March 1992) is an Australian actor, model, reality television personality, and visual artist.

Her television work includes competing on the seventh season of the reality TV series Australia's Next Top Model, and playing Nurse Christine Chapel on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

[2] In speaking with The Daily Beast in mid-2023 about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' LGBTQ+ representation—and her portrayal of a bisexual character—Bush unhesitatingly told the interviewer, "I'm queer".

She collects dead honey bees from beekeepers, preserves them in spheres of crystal resin, and attaches fine jewellery chains.

Her exhibitions collaborate with projection artists and sound designers to hang the many preserved bees at different heights to create shapes and experiences in three-dimensional space.
