Collection: Jessica Krichels: Unmoored & Slightly Haywire

In my daily commute of over eight years I watch electrical structures marching in perfect linear perspective to the horizon, and windswept tumbleweeds clustering by fences. I have always been drawn to these looming structures rising into the sky, their silhouetted shapes framing the clouds with geometric precision. The landscapes they traverse and skies they inhabit are vast and constantly changing.

In my new collection of prints, elements of these images in my mind’s eye have been transformed into another version of the world in which all things are unmoored, out of line, stuttering, repeating, rotating- gone slightly haywire. (I think many of us relate to this feeling with alarming frequency.)

I hope you will see in these pieces that the electrical structure takes on a life of its own- skipping, stuttering, playing. It interacts with other unexpected elements, or finds itself abstracted, or fractured and reassembled. Communication and transmission frequently break down, as It has become freed of its solid mooring, let free to frolic, fall or rise up into the air.
