The collaborative drawing project by JANE FINE and JAMES ESBER, J. Fiber, reconciles the struggle of the creative process with the duality of the self and the decisions that must follow. Featured in Issue 20, J. Fiber is risky reality, a dripping world undulating with booted appendages thwarting attempts to distinguish human orifices from artillery openings. Fine’s work has been presented in solo shows at the Bernard Toale Gallery in Boston and AR/Contemporary in Milan, and she has held a residency at Paris’ Yaddo. Esber received the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships in 2002 and 2008, and recently had solo exhibitions at Pierogi in Booklyn, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC, and the PPOW in NY.
