Artist’s Talk: Jean Michel Dissake

After working with NC State Arts Village students in a 2-week living and learning residency, Cameroonian multi-media artist Jean Michel Dissake presents works that incorporate recycled and found objects. In his own work, Dissake uses vines, wood, termite dust, fabric, wire, aluminum, computer parts and other objects to create large scale sculptures and tapestries that convey ideas of oneness and unity with each other and nature.‘Babenga – The Sacred Forest’, works by Jean Michel Dissake will be on display at the Gregg Museum June 18, 2020 – January 3, 2021.
