Jacob Taylor Gibson is an interdisciplinary artist based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He earned a BFA in printmaking from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and recently completed an MFA in studio art with a concentration in printmaking from the University of North Texas. Currently, Gibson serves as the manager of programming at The Cedars Union, a nonprofit dedicated to providing facilities and resources to artists in the DFW area. 

Jacob Taylor Gibson's research focuses on feelings of shame, inadequacy and frustration associated with recalling the past. It does so through installations comprised of groupings of familiar yet aged objects. He places them in facsimilies of spaces, which exist only in memories. He then explores materiality through burning, oxidation and other processes. These objects represent the perpetuation of grief and neglect, but at the same time recall moments of tenderness buried within a mass of forgotten memories.

An opening reception for Once Again: Reconfigured will take place on Friday, November 1 from 5-7 p.m. in the River Campus Expansion Hall Gallery.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. Joni Hand at jhand@semo.edu or (573) 651-2720.
