At stop #5 is featuring artist in his show "Purple" !
"purple" is a show about the in-between. born in 2001, jacob grew up as the only child of in*******al parents. he spent most of his childhood in wisconsin, a “purple state,” known for being a battleground in today’s polarized political environment. he oscillated between madison, a highly educated college town, where he went to school, and the countryside of oregon (a town in wisconsin), a landscape with more cornfields than houses, where his parents had built their home. a baseball player all his life, jacob spent a great deal of his summers travelling to tournaments in small towns around the rural midwest. the experience was a moasiac of dichotomies: rolling hills and suburban hellscapes, beautiful clouds and disappointing rainouts, MAGA hats and microaggressions, fast-food diners and Chinese-American restaurants. inspired by these memories of the midwest, jacob has set out to explore what lies at the cross-section, perhaps discovering an unseen world, or inventing new ones.
trained as a photographer, jacob is a conceptual artist who has spent recent years creating collaged works that integrate cyanotype, screenprint, found and fabricated objects. his work engages themes of place, familial lore, tradition, language, labor, archives, and generational care.
