Jux Ta Positions explores the Lesley A. Powell’s journey from choreography to canvas, where the spatial drama of figures on stage transforms into composed forms, images, and colors on paper and canvas.
Powell’s background as a choreographer profoundly influences her artistic practice. Just as the placement of dancers and elements like costumes, lights, and sets create nonverbal narratives in a performance, her artwork articulates its own silent language. Rather than telling a linear story, the compositions open a space for layered emotional expression and poetic juxtapositions between figures, nature, and abstract forms.
