Jessica Maria Hopkins: Equinox

FROM THE ARTIST:

 “My current body of work, Equinox, explores my life after the first day of spring. For me the significance of March 20, 2019 is colored by the passing of my brother on that night. Each painting is named after my nine siblings' birthday; I am August 17. The equinox occurs twice a year as the sun crosses the equator when day and night are equal lengths. In life something happens to us twice; we are born and we die.”

FROM CONNERSMITH GALLERY:

In her most recent painting series Hopkins expresses personal relationships with her five brothers and three sisters. A common thread of nine horizontal stripes signifies the siblings’ connections to one another. Each figure produces a different emotional dialogue through color, texture, and pattern, communicating loss and transformation through distortion, dripping and fading of color. The tenth and final painting in the series figures the completion of this process.
