Working primarily in carved and painted wood and incorporating found objects, Jessica Straus explores the poetry of unexpected juxtapositions between recognizable and invented forms. Alternating between narrative and abstraction, Straus’s well crafted sculpture is infused with a quirky, yet subtle humor and a finely tuned sense of aesthetics. Straus works out of her studio in the Brickbottom Artists Building in Somerville, MA. In addition to exhibiting her work at Boston Sculptors Gallery, Straus has shown at numerous galleries and museums including the Fuller Craft Museum, the Danforth Art Museum, the Duxbury Art Complex Museum, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the Addison Gallery of American Art, and the Berkshire Art Museum.
