Jessie Dodington turned a wheeled theater/sofa in Elsewhere’s library into a Field Station for observing and exploring the Elsewhere wilds. She recreated the cart with a Visitor Center aesthetic, drew and published a guide book/coloring book, made a set of animal puppets based on Elsewhere staff and artists in residence, and sewed a set of book pillows with screen printed pages from an Elsewhere collection book.
Jessie Dodington is a visual artist working primarily in oil, watercolor and drawing media. More recently she has explored textile, fiber, animation and video art. She graduated with a BFA from Mount Allison University, New Brunswick, Canada in 2008. Since then her work has been exhibited regularly in group and solo shows throughout the province and is a part of many private collections in Canada and internationally. Her current work explores spaces where fiction and reality converge and overlap. She adores books, animal and plant life. She now resides in New Mexico with her husband and many imaginary pets.
