Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Peace at Home: The war never left at Small A Projects, Portland

Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Peace at Home: The war never left
Small A Projects, Portland, Oregon, USA
September 8 - October 7, 2006

Small A Projects, Laurel Gitlen's gallery in Portland, Oregon, presents a solo exhibition of new work by JESSICA JACKSON HUTCHINS.  The exhibition will include works on paper, sculpture and video. 

Jessica Jackson Hutchins’ work creates occurrences that recognize the urgency and difficulty in our continuing attempts to connect to the world.  Her forms are indications of how we try to read ourselves through the places and things that we encounter and how these humorous and heroic efforts are sites of compassion. Discrete elements drawn from landscapes (both wild and domestic) and pop culture — forms that are contingent on the greater environment — suggest the inevitable failure that accompanies attempts at definition. 

JESSICA JACKSON HUTCHINS has shown widely in the United States and Europe.  Recent exhibitions include Gone Formalism, at the ICA Philadelphia; Make It Now, at the Sculpture Center in Long Island City; and a solo exhibition at Derek Eller Gallery, New York. Jessica Jackson Hutchins lives and works in New York and Portland.  This is the first solo exhibition of her work in the Northwest.
