Jacolby Satterwhite: We Are In Hell When We Hurt Each Other
For
over
a
decade,
Jacolby
Satterwhite
has
used
3D
animation,
sculpture,
performance,
painting,
and
photography
to
create
fantastical,
labyrinthine
universes.
Exploring
the
themes
of
public
space,
the
body,
ritual,
and
community,
Satterwhite
draws
from
an
extensive
set
of
references
guided
by
queer
theory,
Modernist
tropes,
and
video
game
languages to
challenge
conventions
of
Western
art
through
a
personal
and
political
lens.
An
equally
significant
influence
is
his
late
mother,
Patricia
Satterwhite,
who
lived
with
schizophrenia
and
made
ethereal
vocal
recordings
as
well
as
drawings
and
diagrams
for
visionary
household
products
throughout
Satterwhite’s
childhood.
His
mother’s
work
often
serves
as
the
source
material
within
a
decidedly
complex
structure
of
memory
and
mythology.
