① Artwork:
Flower Faced f-hole
Two aspects of the “face” are recurring themes in the artist’s practice. One is the threshold of the flat picture plane, which can only offer one face to the viewer, its own face. Another aspect is the face as a primary scene of human perception. The concept is rendered three times in this work on paper. The word “face” appears cut into the surface of a sheet of paper, depicted in its cast shadow, and portrayed through the two flowers that suggest eyes.
Juliet Jacobson makes art about the act of looking and the experience of recognition. Her work draws on visual experience as conditioned by the history of visual images and literary invocations of art and representation, ranging from puns to mythology.
