Jessica Jackson Hutchins – Reason to Be

Picture 18 of 20

Known for her paintings and ceramic sculptures, in the last several years Jackson Hutchins has begun to create architectural insertions made from cut and carved pieces of glass melted together. In her re-purposed bus shelter, Reason to Be, 2017, the artist replaces the functional glass walls with baroque decorative panels, some with phrases and words that recall the advertising function of these public shelters. She has also replaced the bench with a hammock, taking participants from the fast pace of downtown’s business environment, giving them a place to rest, and perhaps dream.
