“In ‘After Closing Time #2’
Faust presents a never-ending staircase reminiscent of M.C. Esher,
a subterranean ladder that leads to a light source. Though the
collage is mostly finished in matte black, there are cubist patterns
layered on the board. These patterns and the emerging light source
are revealed where Faust has scraped away paint to bring pastel
paint layers, reptilian textures and the bare wood base to the
surface. These paintings are mysterious and labyrinthine, making
the viewer feel that they have entered a hidden passageway and
discovered life in the underground.” “Strength in
Numbers” by Lisa Falco, ArtsMedia, 2002.
“Faust created a dozen pieces…that are fiercely geometrical,
drawing the eye into a location well beyond the surface. Washed
in tones of copper, rust, gray, black and ivory, the works suggest
distant views of enormous panoramic dreamscapes, with overlapping
shards of material exploded by light.” “Shadowy Places”
by Jerry O’Brien, Providence Journal, 1999.
“When Jemison Faust looks at the snazzy black and white
patchwork of her winter jacket, she can recall where all the pieces
came from. For Faust all those well-worn items are just a beginning.
In her art work and in her life, she delights in finding new vitality
in things that already have a history.” “Faust finds
castoffs ripe for Renovation” by Joanne Silver, Boston
Herald, 2004.
“A good place to start is the Newport Art Museum, which
is hosting a small solo exhibit of works by Newport artist Jemison
Faust …Faust has managed to channel a lot of energy into
her compact spaces. Though small in size, her Renovation Series
packs a big punch.” Bill Van Siclen, Providence Journal,
2004.
