Stories from a Chair: A Life ExquisiteThe works of Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn
March 15th - 19th
Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design is proud to present Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn's Master of Fine Arts Thesis Show, Stories from a Chair: A Life Exquisite. Her drawings, performances, and written works have been called truthful visual documentation, small works with large emotional impact, visually jarring, brave, and abrasively comical. Making the artwork even more compelling is the story it tells. Blinkhorn was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a form of Muscular Dystrophy, at nineteen months. Having lost the ability to walk at age five, Blinkhorn received her first of many chairs. Her drawings are small visual documentations render true to life on a 5’’ x7’’ and/or 2’’ x3’’ scale and speak of her life contained within a genetic cage.
Blinkhorn's work will be on display from March 15th - 19th, with a reception on Friday, March 19th, 2010 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Free and open to the public.
