The Mental Happenings of Jenkins

by | Jan 26, 2010 | ART

Space and time are completely up for interpretation in the modern world. We can blast off on a mission to Mars or split an atom but science cannot tell me what time looks like or what the infinite feels like. Thank you for art as it acts as the medium to have this conversation. I imagine that Jenkins is trying to unravel this tangled yarn though his process. I imagine his drawings and illustrations are taking these hard concepts and grappling with them until they make sense to him. We all deal with these concepts everyday and they are the basic rules of life but somehow life gets in the way of understanding something that affect us all.

Anyway, I like this stuff. Makes me stop and think.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.

Photos | Warriors in Bloom at Agecroft Hall

Everything We Did Was A Bad Idea
