Jody Borhani-D’Amico
“I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.” – William Faulkner
“borhani”: logic, proof (Farsi)

My artwork explores adventure, fear and the presence of unseen burdens. I often begin taking photographs at the moment when most of us look away. I work by photographing real life and fiction, as well as by gathering castoff objects, pressing leaves, and cutting delicate paper with which I create an undergirding for figurative paintings. Laying my hands on the ephemeral is how I try to salvage memories and dreams.

I draw on imagery recalled from my family, my cultural lore and my time teaching in the carceral system, along with abundant evocations and depictions of nature. I also include elements of industrial sites, now decayed, that hold a sense of longing, nostalgia and purpose for many people.

I grew up as a newcomer in a place with a violent history laid beneath stunning landmarks– piney ridges, abandoned mine shafts, factories and smokestacks, plantations and mansions. Meanwhile my family had its own unique history with religious stigmatization, roles as both doctors and profoundly ill patients, and creative achievement. These complex, dual backgrounds affect how I see and render the world.

The warmth of neighborliness and the treasures of the natural world held me then and hold my attention now. Everyday I try to balance light and dark and my artwork watches me work. We are all seeking some kind of transcendence.

Career highlights include: grant recipient / National Endowment for the Humanities; 2 summer fellowships in printmaking at Skidmore college; with additional studies conducted in Florence, Italy and Santa Fe, NM.

(Thank you, Jim Mullen!)
