Artist BIO

InkAndSword.com Owner, Illustrator, Stuntman, Muppet.

Jed loves to play. He's raced cars at 180 mph, jumped out of a perfectly built airplane, climbed El Capitan, surfed the North Shore and scrapped alongside The Dark Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man. Always in the thick of it, either drawing or doing it. Usually both. An artist with a preference for illustration, a skilled photographer who loves to draw and an experienced musician who once pursued writing. These unique interests crafted Jed into an effective communicator with a sophisticated visual style driven by his diverse background. Much of his inspiration is pulled through personal experience, extensive research and a well-worn library card. A seasoned traveler, he has lived in the Pacific Islands, amongst the Redwoods of Northern California and currently resides in Brooklyn, where he works full time as a graphic artist and designer.

Jed's illustration was awarded by American Illustration and photography reportage seen on PBS. His artwork has been shown at the Tube Gallery, Norman Schafler Gallery, Triton Museum of Art, Hammerstein Ballroom-Pratt Best of Senior Show, The Society of Illustrators Museum, San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery Breakthrough Photographers Exhibition and featured in editorials such as British GQ, ReadyMade Magazine, Bust, Wired, RadioLab, i09 as well as various design boutiques internationally.

  Three-Body Problem
  Letterpress (Bow & Arrow Press)
  - Artist's Statement on this Work:
    
    Three-Body Problem: This poem takes a wider orbit from the James Webb Space Telescope itself. During the artist event, we learned that the JWST will be sent to the second Lagrange point (L2). I did as much reading as possible about L2, and stumbled upon the idea of the "three-body problem" of gravity (in layman's terms). I'm no scientist, so of course my mind wandered to a more intimate, human context. I was also curious about the equilibrium that can be found at the exact right point, and how some of us might measure to find it, and others might feel for it.
    
    Three-Body Problem
    
    The James Webb Space Telescope will orbit in the
    Lagrange 2 (L2) position, incorporating
    what is known as the three-body problem of gravity.
    
    I never wanted to be the third
    body in motion. I only wanted
    to disappear with you into the spoon
    of the Earth, some exact distance
    from the Sun.
    
    They say there is balance here
    if our eyes can adjust. And you might
    think it all through in careful
    mathematics, but it is no one's fault
    if this is what you love.

  Letterpress (Bow & Arrow Press)
  - Artist's Statement on this Work:
    
    Helen of Troy:This poem focuses on the immensity of the James Webb Space Telescope project itself: expanding the observable horizon of the universe. For some reason, this brought me to the image of Helen of Troy... as Marlowe described, "...the face that launch'd a thousand ships." What if the JWST was one of those ships? What if Helen of Troy was not an object to be possessed, but a woman of agency who harbored a secret love for the cosmos? Given that we will be able to observe back billions of years to the earliest galaxies, at the moment of observation -- isn't (in some way) everything happening at once?
    
    Helen of Troy
    
    in celebration of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope
    
    Across time we observe
    a beautiful woman.
    She shields her face against
    sunlight
    with her hand,
    1,000 ships approaching
    on the horizon. It is a story
    old as the ages and still
    we are telling it,
    our ship no longer
    made of wood
    but gold; the gods
    might hold their breath
    at the sight of it -
    miraculous
    instrument
    and what about beauty
    that mortal power,
    gravity bending at the knees
    at the sight of her?
    She was always called
    Helen of Troy
    and hated the name.
    At night, she shunned suitors
    and looked at the stars,
    unbeknownst to anyone.
    Now we have built her
    the most extraordinary vessel.
    We have spared her wrist
    the weight of gold,
    sent it into the darkest night
    instead. It is time we all
    are reminded of this calling.
    Toss back the sheets.
    Rise from bed.
    The farthest reaches of it all
    feel like kisses
    on your bare shoulder; in -
    infrared we can see
    the hurt at the center of things
    and faint is the light
    that escapes it.
    Wasn't it you
    on the terrace straining your eyes
    for something you felt?
    Wasn't it you
    shouldering this instrument,
    sending it outside
    the reaches of Earth,
    wanting something more
    for it, wanting something more
    than love that feels like
    love, leaves you
    lonelier than you've ever been,
    the images pulled in
    as through a dragonfly lens,
    and when we see them
    when we can make sense of them
    the splendor
    will have only begun; a woman -
    returning to bed
    satisfied for the first time.

    James Webb Space Telescope:This is an origin poem inspired by a conversation with Dr. Straughn about her childhood, and the influence a rural upbringing can have in regard to dark skies. Having grown up on a blueberry farm in Maine, I could relate. The poem invokes rural images: the sound of walking the fields at night, the powerful proximity of stars; my father's honeybees, my mother's Black-Eyed Susans. As human beings, there is the necessity of storytelling to conceptualize our universe. There is also the necessity to link stories like filaments.
    
    James Webb Space Telescope
    
    These 18 mirrors of beryllium and gold, they want nothing
    to do with us. Like hounds with hunting in the blood, they want
    to nose the air for something we can't see. Besides, we have made
    a habit of ourselves, the camera turned around, Narcissus in a screen.
    13.8 billion years and for what, for us to stop asking questions?
    To no longer draw a thread between stories? Like you, I have fallen
    asleep in the fields under a blanket of stars. Like you, something
    in me grows restless. Honeycomb. Black-Eyed Susan. These are not
    the right words to describe it. Somewhere in the shade of the Earth,
    far from the Sun, you will wake from a dream you already had.
    You will find yourself back inside the field of things, the chorus
    of insects at night, chatter of sharp wings. And the first images
    that come back to you will feel as familiar as the cell, the flower,
    the infinite snowflake.
    
    for Dr. Amber Straughn, Astrophysicist

Artist BIO

I'm an artist working with nature, environmental and architectural themes. I draw inspiration from my surroundings in beautiful Lancaster County, PA. I employ cyanotypes, heliographic prints, and image transfers as the basis for textile works that also incorporate unusual fabrics, hand and machine stitching, and beadwork. My work has been juried into numerous national and international exhibits.
http://suereno.com http://suereno.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/suerenostudio
Artist's Statement on this work

Hexagons are a perennial motif in quilts. I began stitching the silk hexagons representing the mirror of the James Webb Space Telescope on site at NASA Goddard. Cyanotype dates from the 1840s as a pioneering photography process; these and the colored dye prints were developed outdoors using UV rays from the sun. The border image is from the other end of the photo technology spectrum, taken with a fisheye lens on an iPhone and digitally printed. The needle felted center panel is made with minimally processed wool and silk fibers and modern mylar strands. It is my depiction of the early luminosity, going back 13.5 billion years, which the telescope will be able to detect.

  Dane Ault: James Webb Space Telescope
  
  Statement About the Work from the Show Curator
  
  In 2016, I met artist Dane Ault at AwesomeCon. He had a striking series of prints of spacecraft, including Hubble and Cassini - but no James Webb Space Telescope. When asked, he told me that it'd be suggested to him not to bother doing a JWST one until after it launched. I encouraged him not to wait, and invited him for a tour if he had time while he was in town. He came out to Goddard to see the telescope (which was face down at the time, unfortunately), but a few weeks later, he sent me an email with this art. It was really cool to see JWST added to his Science + Nature series of lithographs, and it planted the seed of an idea, which, combined with the first views of JWST's gorgeous gold-coated mirror, culminated in our November 2016 artist event. I was able to put out a call for artists to apply to come see JWST in person, and be inspired to create right in front of it. The event was a success, and the art in this exhibit was produced as a result. - Maggie Masetti
