Dessie Jackson

Dessie, a stop-motion puppet and self-portrait of the artist, steps out of her miniature world and into a larger-than-life reality. Typically confined to a small-scale existence, she takes in her newfound surroundings with awe and curiosity. Dessie Goes to Denver captures the magic of experiencing a big world with big wonder.
