Jessica Row: memento/momentum
A showcase of sentiments.
Overview
If an item or an image can inspire an emotional response, then think of Jessica Row's current exhibition as a showcase of sentiments. The artist and arts worker has captured poignant moments from her past five years, then turned them into memento/momentum. Yes, you can expect to feel something while you're looking at them.
You can expect to feel joy, adventure, heartbreak, loss and self-discovery, for starters, with those the sensations on Row's mind. Her collection of printmaking, photography, video and sculpture is designed to conjure just that, and to take viewers on a journey through themes of identity, memory, mortality and belonging.
Indeed, celebrating ordinary things, everyday people and unique connections is part of her plan — and part of the latest highlight of her blooming career. Prior to memento/momentum, Row has featured at Jugglers Art Space several times, as well as Bleeding Heart Gallery, POP Gallery, Sydney's Globe Gallery and Melbourne's Brunswick Street Art Gallery, with her pieces held in the Griffith University Art Collection in Brisbane, the University of West England Centre for Fine Print Research in Bristol and private collections around Australia.
