Visual artist and educator Jean Shon’s “What Would I Not Give” opens October 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Community Artists’ Collective. A poetry reading, delivered by poets Icess Fernandez, Reyes Ramirez and Anthony Sutton, will happen from 5 to 6 p.m.
Shon is a visual artist and educator working at the intersection of images, text, installation and photography. Her work lingers between the thresholds of legibility and illegibility, rupture and relation, and fact and fiction in order to sustain connection through loss. She often employs family and community artifacts as immediate vessels to the intimate and familiar.
