Gabrielle
Jesiolowski
When Gabrielle Jesiolowski creates an object or alters an ecology in three dimensional space, she is admitting that language is failing—the ink pen dried to ashy black, the sturdy type letters- brittle fences / She is looking to feel connected to her body; She is looking for her breath and her hands in the material; She is looking for the landscape in the material; She is seeking out an exchange (political, personal, ecological & aesthetic). Jesiolowski began her study & practice of visual arts as a poet / She has always been a gatherer, a recycler of image, object & language. Her poems reuse their materials— the same cut hair or linseed oil appearing again and again as a condition, a way for a reader (and for her) to travel through the poems—a way to remind herself of the impossibility (politically and personally) of ever really arriving.
