Immediately following the artist presentation there will be a public reception from 6:00-9:00 pm. The exhibit runs through Saturday, November 27th.

The work of Jessica Drenk involves the manipulation of common materials such as wood or PVC tubing to create repetitive, post-minimalist patterns that achieve a balance between juxtapositions: the symmetrical and the asymmetrical, the natural world and the digital world, the microscopic and the macroscopic.

    We’ve enjoyed seeing Jessica’s work at previous shows at Conrad Wilde and at the UA Main library.  She does amazingly creative artwork with recycled books,  paper (i.e. toilet paper shown above) and natural materials such as wood.  Thanks Charlie.
