Jacolby Satterwhite uses performance, to examine memory, inside and outsider art practices, contemporary surrealism, queer phenomenology and push the tensions created during translation and inheritance of studio practice. He utilizes his mother’s drawings and music recordings as a primary resource. His mother creates songs of desire and thousands of schematic drawings/inventions influenced by consumer culture, medicine, fashion, surrealism, math, sex, astrology, philosophy, and matrilineal concerns. The drawings are mostly of common objects and luxury products found in the domestic sphere. His practice has it’s roots in dada, surrealist, and fluxus attitudes. He pairs down multiple drawings to create a time based narrative out of a nonsensical intersection of the text, rendered objects and dance performance. He uses process as a meta narrative; the narrative between a mother & and son’s studio practices, the narrative between past, present, and future, and the narrative between mediums.
