Bellevue, WA—Jana Brevick: This Infinity Fits in My Hand is Brevick's first solo exhibition in a museum. The exhibition will present works charting the artist's career alongside new, never-before seen pieces, and will demonstrate the artist's versatility and range, from wearable objects and jewelry to sculpture and environmental installation.

In Jana Brevick's hands, prosaic household objects or tools are transformed into gems. The resulting work juxtaposes a high level of metal craftsmanship with a droll tongue-in-cheek delivery. With a nod to Man Ray, these wry "chance meetings" are often accompanied by twists on scale and proportion that challenge conventions of wearability.

Brevick is insatiably curious about the world and beyond. Her ongoing research into mathematics and the natural sciences forms the basis for many of her pieces. In her work, an awe for the history of scientific discovery and innovation is offset by her fascination with the beauty of obsolete technologies. Employing a visual language that is simultaneously anachronistic and futuristic, the artist tackles universal themes: from the alchemy of merging creative and scientific processes, to the Romantic journey of the individual into the sublime.

Jana Brevick: This Infinity Fits in My Hand is organized by Bellevue Arts Museum and curated by Jennifer Navva Milliken.
