Emeline Harty, Blatantly Lost
Montage
For my work, the medium of collage is paramount. Using items from a variety of sources, I am able to capture the multilayered, multivariate forms of humanity that are all contained within one individual. We absorb and retain remnants of our environments, snapshots bleeding through into our everyday existence. Like seemingly useless scraps of paper can compose an art piece, so too can seemingly useless scraps of experience make us into who we are.

These works are part of a series of surrealist paintings I have used to work through my most challenging trials. I love using art as a way to find meaning in-spite of life’s hardships. To Mae, to make art, is to make sense.

Jessie Hepp, Community Web
Yarn
Thank you to the SLC community who participated in this project and to Matthew Heckmann for creating the space for this piece to be made. Community Web is the product of an interactive piece Jessie installed at Liberty Park in 2023 where members of the community were invited to help build a web of yarn. Eleven pink-painted PVC pipes were placed in the ground and used as anchor points for the web. Participants were encouraged to allow their creativity to play a role in creating the piece. The web is now a hanging installation that represents folks coming together to collectively make something and play. Use the QR code to see images of Community Web being made.
