So thrilled to design the poster for one of my favorite annual events: the Miami Book Fair! I did some fun Miami-centric illustrations and made it into some super cool merchandise with the MBF team. I love reading and I love getting the opportunity to work on projects that celebrate Miami and it’s amazing cultural programs.
The Miami Book Fair runs November 13-20, and 18-20, 2022
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.
Caught up with the Miami New Times to discuss what I’ve been up to the last year and the new direction of my work. Check it out!
