roots & vessels
new works by gabrielle jesiolowski
gabrielle jesiolowski's current body of work is interested in erasures, departures, arrivals, the future of nostalgia and belonging; it inquires about rooting, rerouting, finding home and issues of the temporal body. she attempts to build a language with techniques of etching, drawing, mapping, diagramming, and sculpting. her work offers us the chance to stand in the borderlands between urgency and peace, between a poetics of memory and the chance of forgetting. jesiolowski is interested in reclaiming materials, grinding pigments and the process of working through text by making visual work.
jesiolowski is an artist, poet and curator currently living in ithaca, new york. she is a mfa candidate at cornell where she studies nomadic architecture, dance composition and installation. jesiolowski hopes to one day open an experimental school with a farm stand, community art center and a library/meditation barn.
