"RECEPTIVE AS A VALLEY" AT THE KNIGHT CONCERT HALL
/
RECEPTIVE AS A VALLEY
A solo presentation by Jessy Nite
January 20 - April 30 2022
“Receptive as a Valley” is a collection of brand-new works from Jessy Nite that are inspired by the idea of survival in both nature and human society. The brightly colored, intricately patterned paracord, a tactical material known for its strength and durability, is thoughtfully selected and crafted together with self-taught traditional survival knots to reveal messages in an array of Nite’s custom fonts. The texts play off of familiar phrases related to nature, climate, community, and relationships to explore survival in society and what it means to turn to the natural world as our guide forward.
