Celestial Perspectives, a solo exhibition featuring the textile artwork of Jess Self, invites viewers into a unique installation at the Terri Strickland Cole Galleries. This exhibition transforms the space into a multi-dimensional portal, showcasing intricately hand-woven pieces that evoke themes of cosmic mapping and textile labyrinths. The artwork encourages exploration, inviting individuals to navigate through various forms and colors while reflecting on the interplay of timelines and personal histories.
