In A New Geography, Jess Scriver explores the tension between order and disruption through abstracted landscapes of geometric structures. Streamlined forms, reminiscent of agricultural fields or mapped terrain, establish a sense of control and orientation. These systems are then challenged by action-driven gestures; pours, drips, and gravity-driven flows that intersect, fracture, and rearrange the grids. The paintings locate meaning in the collision of structure and movement, revealing the dynamic edge where stability yields to change, and organized systems encounter unpredictability.
