They are currently working as the Graphic Design and Photography Media Facilities Coordinator for Art & Design at the University of Dayton. "try, take time - take time, try" is a collection of developing works compiling photographic, sculptural, and installation approaches."
""One's field of view exists and transcends multitudes-blending degrees of needed softness and conviction. Encapsulating this disparateness delves into the functionality of these simultaneously differing but similar emotions and approaches. The work calls upon these methods of making to look into and allude to how one can harness the needed firmness to create direction with the leniency and care needed to hold space for compassion.""
Jesse Ly produces a multidisciplinary body of work that examines dualities of care and labour through lens-based photography, sculpture, and installation. The practice interrogates the emotional spectra required to effect change, balancing tenderness, rigidity, and rage alongside acts of affirmation, safekeeping, protection, and preparedness. The work navigates the tension between softness and conviction, investigating how disparate emotions function together in creative making. Ly foregrounds methods that enable firm direction while preserving leniency and care, advocating for spatial and emotional practices that hold space for compassion amid deliberate, directed action.
