Jasmine Murrell and I were both 2019 CCNY/Baxter St Workspace Residents and I was immediately fascinated by her practice. Jasmine makes sculptures, video art, photographs, sound art, performances – and she does all of these things well and then combines them in the most thoughtfully provoking ways. I have seen Jasmine make wild sculptures, turn them into a social practice project for which she then creates conceptual photographs — then combine all of the aesthetics and ideas related to these modes of creation for an installation of all new objects born from the images, the social practice, and the sculptures. Brilliant. I will also reflect that during our first conversation at Baxter, Jasmine already started thinking of artists who I might like to be friends with and ways that she could help me bring the vision for my residency into a reality. I have learned since then that having a conversation with Jasmine is a treasure of an experience. So, I decided to have a conversation with her for this piece.
