The Journeys; Sculptures in Storyform
Jesse English's work has developed from closed systems of cause and effect machinery, into a more narrative form. His work, now, often takes the shape of a story, sculptural 'characters' entailing a set of sequential events, along with a resolution - Dénouement.
The stories told are allegories reminding the viewer of our ephemeral place in a greater collective journey. They also allude to the mysteries held out of sight by nature; the unknown purposes for our existence and the supernatural System empowering our course. In these films we are given a glimpse into an enchanting, dreamlike landscape and we leave with a broader understanding of what Life can yield.
