Jesse Harrod MAD artist-in-residence

Using rope to create sculptural installations, Museum of Arts and Design artist-in-residence, #JesseHarrod manipulates and transforms materials to animate their sexual and sensual qualities and explore the intersections between queer kinship, support, and sexuality. In her sculptural installations, she works with rope as a pliable element that she regards much like a drawing tool, specifically utilizing knot-making techniques such as macrame in ways that can be understood as simultaneously restraining and supporting. Visit Jesse Harrod every Friday at @MADMuseum’s Artist Studios.
