Jesse Sky
I was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1980 and the first thing I ever saw was the ocean. From there, it was a long journey to become an artist. I was a talented musician and mathematician throughout school, culminating in a world championship trumpet performance and an engineering degree. I learned the art of numbers, rhythm and tone. From there, I joined a design team that built the finest racing yachts of the world, and learned the art of structure and form in wind and on water. After, I pursued a short-lived career on Wall street where I learned the art – and folly – of money.
Having attained a suitable renaissance education, I turned my attention toward art. Why am I here on this Earth at this time? What will be my unique contribution to this world? These are fundamental questions I ask myself every day. I’ve travelled the world and hobnobbed with the haute humains. I’ve met a beautiful woman and together we raise our darling son. I find myself now on the precipice of civilization, an outsider looking in from a remote island simultaneously at the edge and center of the world.
The air is fresh out here and the ocean and sky are endless. Every new morning brings a clear horizon, summoning creation. I arrive to animate my studio with an open mind every day, devoid of the drudgery of dependence on the past and eager to discover what is new in this moment. I have listened intently to the ultimate Om and have gleefully allowed it to guide my head and my hands in the creation of artifacts. My collection of Mandali aims to transform the universe from one of suffering into one of joy through individual actualization. I see humanity united as the omni-inter-constellated stars of the universe, and I do my part to push our collective reality toward this potentiality.
I have been focused of late on innovating a new field of architecture, where lightweight and durable space-making forms spring up from the Earth like flowers in a meadow, in homage to the fact that we must all do more with less, that we must all live lightly here now, that the excesses of yesterday have no place in an abundant tomorrow. I aim to inform the collective of new possibilities in this life, to encourage the individual toward self-empowerment independent of culture, and to shelter the light of the world from the worst of its storms. I am Jesse Sky, crystallizing peace into form.
These days, I can be found in my Maui studio, working away happily. My work is a blessing and a gift to me and there is little in this world that could tear me away. I am oft-tempted by a windy day, when I harness the tropical wind to skip over the surf and launch from its crests, and I dream of the day when my architectural work blooms in full force, when I will soar within Herculean eagles, delivering beautiful and essential shelters to the displaced peoples of the world…
Jesse has exhibited his work in multiple galleries across the US including Hawaii, and part of multiples private collections.
