Check out Jesse Well’s exhibit “Reckonings,” opening this Friday, May 4th, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the New Dominion Bookshop.
Jesse Wells’ most recent series is an assemblage of tokens pointing to peripheral moments and the significance we attribute to incidental human actions over time. In applying a frontier mentality to everyday life, viewing the explored as unexplored, it appears that what hovers in the distance can either be a danger or a discovery. Maybe it is both.
This work includes letterpress, drawings, crochet and thread on canvas.
