Jesse Kaminsky

Jesse Kaminsky is a second-generation artist working mainly in sculpture, sound, and performance. Born in the Arkansas Ozarks and currently residing in Providence, RI, Jesse received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, both in sculpture. Jesse’s practice is rooted in experimentation and iteration, undermining materials and questioning desires. Frequent and recurring themes relate to dreams, narrative structure, spirituality, and materiality. Recent sculptural works use a series of dream-based narratives as guides for process-based material experiments, exploring ideas of resonance, scale, and the limits of human intuition when faced with the unknown. Jesse works across traditional media fields but often touches on sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, sound and music releases, zines and artists books, video and installation, radio and live art.
