COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean Hess: Aboutness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Kresge Memorial Library Gallery at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, USA
8 September-8 October 2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jean Hess<\/a>‘ \u201cAboutness\u201d includes collage paintings that combine found-paper ephemera, paint, resins and pencil as well as hand-stitched collages of antique textiles. Although Hess works with certain themes in mind, these collages are not meant to tell a story.\u00a0Hess prefers to concentrate on focused process and energy expenditure to achieve work that is deep or salient rather than topical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is the culmination of a fifteen-year conversation between the artist and artist-curator Jeffery Morton that hinges on the idea that art and life cannot be separated. Morton writes, “From macro images of space and celestial bodies to microforms of minute hand-sewn threads, Hess’ work suggests that artworks move beyond the self to a larger vision of the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
