Healing Through Conflict
Healing Through Conflict
August 13 - October 19, 2024
Experience Jessica Teckemeyer's solo exhibition, Healing Through Conflict, a thought-provoking exploration of our collective past to foster healing amid present-day conflicts. Artist Jessica Teckemeyer creates mixed-media animal sculptures that delve into the intricacies of human nature. This series of works aims to prompt reflection on the normalization of violence in the United States. The creation of the new artwork Rivalry encourages viewers to engage in introspection and contemplation with the duality of forms. This series of sculptural pieces investigates complex socio-political topics, such as inequality and mass shootings.
Jessica's artistic practice is dedicated to raising awareness about the prevalence
of violence in contemporary culture. Through her sculptures, she captures fleeting
moments that relate to cultural trauma and historic inequalities. The anthropomorphized
animals in her artwork reveal important clues to the complex narratives. She aims
to create meaningful conversations and encourage open dialogue to generate solutions
for these critical issues.
