Jesse Rye is an emerging artist based in Sydney.
Jesse’s practice approaches phenomenology, crip theory and affect. Working primarily in sculpture, print and sound; Jesse’s work interrogates our preconceptions of how we perceive, evaluate and negotiate the world - particularly with a focus on people with diverse sensory experiences and differing abilities. Jesse identifies as living with a disability, and rejects reductive views of people with differing abilities as inferior. Jesse is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) at UNSW Art and Design.
Jesse has provided technical support for artist run initiatives in the past such as Kil.n.it in Glebe. Jesse has exhibited work at UNSW Art and Design, Gallery Aurora, Down/Under Space, Enmore Design Centre and Firstdraft.
