Jessamyn Plotts: Cat’s Cradle at Texas State Galleries FLEX Space, San Marcos.
Via Texas State Galleries:
“Cat’s Cradle is a solo exhibition of artworks by Jessamyn Plotts on view in the Texas State Galleries FLEX space.
“These paintings — portraits of the memoirist Cat Marnell juxtaposed with observed interiors — are arranged within the exhibition to foreground the relationship between their content and the space around them, occupied by a viewing subject. This complex dynamic, like a game of cat’s cradle, relies on a multiplicity of figures, on the artist and viewer alike.
“Plotts will host a series of discussions addressing issues of race, gender, and the body as essential to one’s experience of her work. Visit the artist’s website, here, for more information about the Cat’s Cradle exhibition and its related programs:
Discussion 1–Tuesday Oct. 6, 2:30 p.m., Dr. Erina Duganne and Nida Bangash
Discussion 2–Tuesday Oct. 13, 3:30 p.m., Dr. Elise Archias and Barnaby Fitzgerald
