JESSICA BRANDL
Objects can tell a fantastic story, but simply looking at artifacts of human culture with a scientific view does not always animate the full experience. My romance and longing to make contact with people and animals form other times encourages my desire to utilize extant forms, artifacts, and fragments. By stringing together content via objects and images from different points in history and distant geographic locations I disregard linear time. Within each new drawing and assemblage I am able to explore meaning and metaphor associated with the objects. I utilize this collection to retell stories about specific, people, places, and objects.

Jessica Brandl, a native Midwesterner, works in ceramics, drawing and, painting. Set in landscapes with looming architecture, turbulent skies, and misplaced objects, Brandl’s work exposes historical and eccentric places engulfed in psychological scenarios - both sinister and sublime. Surprising spatial arrangements and disjunctive scale shifts support a voyeuristic sense of seeing things from the inside out. Her current work serve as pointed souvenirs of history and the path to American-ness.
