September 10-October 16, 2024Opening at 5 pm and gallery talk at 6 pm on September 10
Invisible and visible boxes surround us every day, from the standards of society and institutions to houses, studios, and offices. Within these structures, individual perceptions and senses vary, just as our memories and attachment to objects differ from one person to another. For Jessica Dupuis, the physical form of sculpture functions as a journal; architectural spaces open for the viewer to explore. Her work evolves from a process in which she uses a combination of clay slip and discarded materials such as newspaper, cardboard, and furniture and transforms them into art objects.
Jessica Dupuis received her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her BFA with a concentration in ceramics and print media from Alfred University. Dupuis exhibits her work regionally and nationally. She has been a resident artist at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and Women's Studio Workshop as well as a recipient of the International Sculpture Center's Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and an Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Grant from the Durham Arts Council. She is an Associate Professor of Art - Ceramics and the A.D. Gallery Director at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
