Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
J. Fiber’s work is a collaborative effort between artists and spouses, James Esber and Jane Fine. The married couple works section by section, passing their drawings back and forth and challenging each other with each exchange. As a result, their work overflows with tension and conflict, overcome by intense, masculine images of sex and violence that are subverted by feminine decoration. J. Fiber’s print Forced Entry encapsulates these aspects of the couple’s work. The print is full of movement and chaos and highlights the play between masculine and feminine forms, creating a small paradoxical world where soft, curved shapes in pink exist in a dynamic jagged composition. - Felicia Bolaske (B.A. ‘14)
