Jamisen Ogg | linear

October 24 – November 30, 2024

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 24, 2024, 6-8PM

For his third solo show at Planthouse, Jamisen Ogg narrows his focus, exhibiting small paintings and drawings. An unfinished painting of a worn rug led Ogg to create this body of work exploring how to weave a painting or a drawing. It is not about weaving as much as it is about making something do a different job in the wrong place and making work where there is none. 

While getting lost in those places, Ogg needed to take breaks, make a toy, and be less serious. The sculptures are the interludes. Four completely different thoughts, all wood-centric, historically curious, wo(a)ndering. Point A to point B. Linear.

Jamisen Ogg (b. Westminster MD, 1980) grew up in rural PA. He received his BFA at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and MFA from The School of the Art Institute in Chicago. He lived and worked in Brooklyn, NY, until recently relocating to Vermont. His work has maintained an interest in the minutia of the every day, filtered through the practice of art.
