EMMA JEWELL: NEST

Carlos Gallery (The University of the South) / 105 Kennerly Rd., Sewanee , TN March 29, 2022 - April 2, 2022

Emma Jewell

In this exhibition, Jewell explores the collective definition of home, communicating that home is both our man made dwellings and Earth. Through the use of scribbly gestural marks, a broad spectrum of intense color, and formal elements like shape, texture, and line, Jewell draws connections between the natural world and humankind to highlight the importance of cherishing this relationship. Repurposing found and recycled materials, Jewell mitigates a portion of her personal waste and comments on the anthropogenic practices that exploit our shared home, Earth.
