Jessie Swimeley

Opus 2020

Pontiac Doors

Photography, 20″ x 16″

 

Artist Statement

I have a great fondness for old car door handles.   Chrome or nickel stand up to the elements better than paint and steel. I love the contrast of the shine on rust. Suicide doors are some of my favorites to find. I get two handles in the frame instead of just one. The symmetry oh so fantastic. I wonder about the rides and adventures this old car went on, just what did it see out there on the road.    

Jessie Swimeley finds great joy uncovering beauty and significance in the insignificant. Her passion for photography started at the age of six when her father handed her a camera.  Jessie uses digital and alternative process photography to give voice to the abandoned places and forgotten treasures of the West.    Jessie is the President of the Treasure Valley Artists Alliance and a member of BOSCO. Her work is shown regularly throughout the Treasure Valley in curated and juried exhibitions.  She currently resides in Boise, Idaho with her partner Joel and Inky the cat.
