– THE TEXAS STATE GALLERIES Galleries 1 & 2 are physically located within the School of Art & Design at Texas State Universit y. CAT’S CRADLE Jessamyn Plot ts Cat's Cradle is a solo exhibition of artworks by Jessamyn Plotts on view in the Texas State Galleries FLEX space. These paintings—portraits of the memoirist Cat Marnell juxtaposed with observed interiors—are arranged within the exhibition to foreground the relationship between their content and the space around them, occupied by a viewing subject. This complex dynamic, like a game of cat’s cradle, relies on a multiplicity of figures, on the artist and viewer alike. In October, the artist hosted three online discussion series addressing issues of race, gender, and the body as essential to one’s experience of her work.
