Jessie Dunahoo

JULY 5 – AUGUST 28, 2020

Ohio National Financial Services Gallery

Curated with Institute 193

Jessie Dunahoo (1932-2017) was raised on a farm in rural Kentucky during a period when support for people considered to have a disability was even more limited than what it is today. Deaf since birth, Dunahoo also lost his vision as a young man. Using various fences and trees to hang intersecting lines, ropes, and wires that could be grasped and threaded, Dunahoo created a 3D map he used to navigate outdoor space, a practice he maintained throughout his life. Later in life, Dunahoo became involved with Latitude Artist Community and Institute 192 in Lexington, Kentucky, where his work evolved into quilt-like structures taking on the dimensions of his four by eight foot studio table. This exhibition presented works created at Latitude in the years he spent there prior to his death in 2017.
