ARTIST STATEMENT
Jack Sears is an artist, poet and teacher born in Poughkeepsie, NY, now living in Brooklyn. He explores what he calls the Inbetween: those realities that remain constantly between here and there, before and after, those metaphoric images that remain illusively held between the metaphor and the absence thereof, and those images living within his own state of Negative Capability. As Keats describes it, “Negative Capability…is when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason…”

In his text based work Jack builds landscapes upon the space between lines and letters defining the Inbetween. His collages confront the creation of a more abstract reality that is in flux and therefore always Inbetween.
