Excuse the images on the text pieces. It's virtually impossible to faithfully reproduce these digitally (color xeroxes work surprisingly well for collectors) and impossible at these sizes and resolutions. However the "Breath Piece" series connects to the 'field of breath' - within each breath there is an infinite number of moments contained. The act of breathing and the mindfulness of the breath can help shape the body, the being, the neural pathways, and activate regions of empathy and compassion for oneself and for others. Even though these works are flat and dense, the visual and psychological spaces are incredibly beautiful.

Layers of a Decade

In the "My Heart as a Stock Market Series" the desire to be keenly aware of one's own place, state, or condition is apparent. Jesse Pasca, during a two year period created a list of 100 possible 'attunements' that one might have when reflecting at the end of the day. (you can see the full list at tobecomehuman.blogspot.com) The scouring of stock tables or ones heart reveals a desire to find the nugget that one searches for to help grow one's own awareness or one's portfolio as the case may be. However there is a sort of absurdity to the marketplace- as well as this arbitrarily constructed introspection. The intention matters, the time matters but in this piece- the 'alignments' are alphabetized and ar not hierarchical. It is impossible to glean any easily recognizable pattern in such a format.
To the Left- "I wanted it from the first moment, I wanted it from the start" is a collage piece with surgical tape, primary book paper, and selects from a photogrpah by Caol Beckwith (from 1975 of Masai warriors). Jesse is interested in "Pages from History" in how we constuct our relationship to our own histories, those which we will live by as well as the myriad, perhaps infinite, narrative of the "Other"

Layers of a Decade balances looking inward and outward with the complexity of time. Jesse spoke of this particular piece in this way. "I think of my marraige (which failed as a marraige) and try to see the incredible hurt that managed to exist there and still see that time that passed during the relationship as time --and not something to be "erased". In my own mind the person I was when I met my ex-wife was the person I have become today. Looking at it with more awareness than i had at the time, i see how incredibly off I was in seeing my own self.
