In the Air a Memory
White CubeWhite Cube presents a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Jessica Rankin, showcasing new works including the artist’s signature embroidered paintings and works on paper. Blending personal experiences and memories with broader references to politics, history, literature and poetry, in her compositions, Rankin combines geometric and organic forms. Her work features vibrant interactions between paint splashes, trails, gestures and the sewn line – elements which coalesce to create topographical and constellatory patterns, evocative of vast landscapes and cosmic realms. Jessica Rankin was born in 1971 in Sydney, Australia and lives and works in New York.
