Eat Flowers, an exhibition of recent work by Cig Harvey on view at Jackson Fine Art, is a multi-sensory installation of photography and text that celebrates the artists’ unique and contemplative approach to finding beauty in even the most mundane. Combining letterpress text, straight photography, and sculpture, Harvey provides an experience mirroring her celebrated photobooks, in which she offers viewers a glimpse into her artistic process through drawings, writings, and references.
Also on view, Persephone is an exhibition of new large-scale mixed media pieces from Angela West, the artist draws from her extensive archives, reimagining works from My 33rd Spring, a body of work she first presented 17 years ago following her MFA program at Yale. As the world stood still in 2020, West returned to these photographs, layering paint on top of her original landscapes to create a series of unique paintings that celebrate rebirth and the reemergence of West as a force in the photographic community.
