"Painting With Hurricanes" & "Donde Permanece la Luz (Where the Light Remains)"
Upper Gallery: Painting With Hurricanes
Artist, educator Jesse Wright’s layered visual language references his blended Jamaican American heritage and speaks of a diverse reverence to a longing for home physically and spiritually. These paintings, made with the assistance of Ithaca High School students artists, are inspired by ongoing relief efforts in Jamaica in response to category 5 hurricane Melissa.
Downstairs Gallery: Donde Permanece la Luz (Where the Light Remains)
Influenced by Paul Strand’s Mexican Portfolio, from the 1930’s, Rob Whitcomb’s photographs were shot in the Yucatan region of Mexico. His goal was to explore the quiet presence of ordinary architecture and the histories embedded in the walls, and urban surfaces.
