Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
Jacquette is both a painter and printmaker, working in various printing techniques such as silkscreen, lithograph, and woodcut. She is renowned for her cityscapes and landscapes from aerial viewpoints. Fugue State presents a dizzying bird’s-eye view of a cityscape at night, with suggestions of car headlights blurring as they rush by on the streets below. The quick, expressive marks suggest movement while the lines on the buildings are clearly defined, creating both tension and balance. - Shelby Miner (B.A. ’15)
