The Laband Art Gallery is delighted to feature the virtual presentation of Jessica Wimbley: Belle Jet and Cabinet Cards, an exhibition organized by and held in-person at the College of the Canyons Art Gallery in spring 2020. Merging memory, biology, culture and history, artist Jessica Wimbley investigates how identity is constructed through portraiture as well as inherited ideals and beliefs. Layering concepts as deftly as her materials, Wimbley remixes visual and cultural histories to reveal structures and expand understanding of Black identity as multiple, integrated, and intersectional.
