#makinglands

In Jay Nelson’s prodigious body of built work there is always the dare for the viewer to see from a new perspective. To inhabit what he calls new ‘structures for seeing’. A Honda Civic, as a perspective. A treehouse, as a perspective. A backyard. The dare in “Making Lands” is to inhabit Nelson’s quiet nights after putting his children to sleep through watercolor drawings. And to take up that part calm, part strung out, part meditative – and all monochromatic blue – perspective. . . . “Making lands” with @jay opens this Friday June 7 @johansson_projects in back gallery open 12-8pm . . . #jaynelson #johanssonprojects #makinglands (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQ9k5XhUds/?igshid=lyr533285941
