Jae Southerland: Sleeping Giant

"Sleeping Giant" channels the profound grief of the artist after losing their mother in 2025 alongside the pain of witnessing injustice, ultimately representing a personal resurrection and hopefulness. Grounded earth tones, heavy chains, and soft tulle covering a paper mache structure represent a resting giant ready to awaken in the exhibition’s central installation, along with a series of paintings and sculptural wall pieces using tulle. jaesoutherland.com
