“It’s that feeling of being lost, being confused, but at the same time looking for something that you can hold on to. When it comes to Christianity, I feel like a lot of us go with what we’re born into and what they tell us to do. But a lot of times we don’t even know if it’s the right thing or if it’s what we want to do.”
María Elena Ortiz, curator at the Modern, says she was drawn to the cultural relevance of Holmes’ figurative work, or art derived from the real world. “What I like about Jammie’s approach to figuration is that it was uncanny and it was more emotional and subjective.”She also felt drawn to Holmes’ art because of his background and perspective, she says. “It’s important to show those other stories that come from peripheral places in the U.S. and weave them into the national discourse.
