Overlap uses source material from magazines published from the 1960’s through the 1980’s. A noteworthy source in this series are Hairdo & Beauty magazines from the sixties which feature the on-trend beauty standards of the time. In this show I explore weaving these images together to explore the interactions of the gender expressions of the era. Doing so allows me to appreciate the style, imagery, and self expression of the time while simultaneously noting the progression of gender expression today. In this exploration, I also weave in silhouettes that touch on themes of religion, beauty, and queerness to examine the intersection of those themes and gender.

Artist Bio
Jae (she/they) is an artist and designer based in the Midwest, specializing in multimedia art with a focus on traditional collage techniques. Their work often incorporates recycled, vintage materials such as tattered books, magazines, and publications, creating a connection to the past and weaving old and imagined stories into new artistic narratives.
As a collage and multimedia artist, Jae continually seeks to uncover fresh ideas and explore the endless possibilities of meaning that arise when two images are juxtaposed. These combinations invite viewers to draw unique associations shaped by their own individual experiences. Through their art, Jae aims to inspire conversations about differences and foster empathy and understanding among diverse perspectives.
