RMAC / PAST EXHIBITIONS / ROSWELL ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE: JANICE JAKIELSKI

Janice Jakielski received a BFA degree in 2000 from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and an MFA degree in Ceramics in 2008 from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She has taught at Colorado State University, Fort Collins; University of Colorado, Boulder; and Metropolitan State College, Denver. She exhibits nationally and her work has recently appeared in American Craft Magazine.

Janice Jakielski’s current work is an investigation of perception, communication and experience. The body dressings she fabricates facilitate perceptual shifts for the participants of her objects. By disrupting or enhancing the senses, the objects make possible an exaggerated self-awareness, a break in the normalcy of daily experience. With these body objects Jakielski is creating a threshold space between reality and the imagination. This work is a social experiment of sorts, a mediated event to explore communication, comfort, and complacency through play.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program and the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. For more information on these programs, please visit their websites at: www.rair.org and www.roswellamoca.org
