Jesse Krimes: Elegy Quilts
May 1, 2026 – Nov 1, 2026
This new exhibition features selections from Jesse Krimes’s “Elegy Quilt” series (2020–present), a body of work that renders the personal effects of the U.S. carceral system through portraits of domestic spaces. Using donated textiles and American quilting traditions, Krimes creates intricately patterned quilts that meditate on memory, loss, alienation, comfort, and resilience.
