A graduating senior from the Fiber department at Kansas City Art Institute, Jacob Martin presents an installation of larger than life papier- mâché figures interacting in the Jenkins windows. Influenced by Mayan and post Hispanic Mexican art, as well as diverse other sources from Hieronymus Bosch to singer Bjork, Martin’s colorfully painted and costumed skeleton figures will enact a “performance” in the windows that speaks of love and cycles of life. Made from recycled materials and constructed in parts, these expressive figures will be assembled on site and situated amidst a stage-like environment crafted of cardboard cutouts.
