Jeff Jacobson’s “From Here Into The Parallels” at Roq La Rue.

Currently virtually on view at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington is artist Jeff Jacobson’s solo exhibition, “From Here Into The Parallels.”

Jeff says of the work, “This small body of work is designed to show range and metaphorically plant 6 special seeds. Each of these has the potential to spin out on it own and still be part of the whole.  My work, as it is today, is about creating and maintaining a parallel eco-system of natural worlds and technology that we interact with. This dimension is not so different from our own, but different enough to keep us asking questions. I’m choosing, as is my style, to show an undercurrent of darkness while saturating the viewer in color and story. Over time I hope to expand this ecosystem and reveal the riddles of its nature.”

Queer Reviews: Jeff Jacobson, “The Boy Who Couldn’t Fly Straight”.

CW: a LOT of internalised homophobia, bullying, mentions of violence and assault. 

 Plot: Closeted high school sophomore Charlie Creevey and his mother Elizabeth live in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada Foothills, where they tend to their fruit orchards and vegetable gardens, generally keeping to themselves. That is, until one afternoon in late August, when a German shepherd crashes through their living room window and demands that the boy be handed over. Barely escaping with their lives, mother and son flee California and head to Seattle, where Charlie discovers the secret Elizabeth has been keeping from him his entire life: that he hails from a family of witches, and will soon be initiated into the craft. Charlie moves in with an aunt and an uncle he barely knows, then has to adjust to a new school and a new life. Soon after, the coven strikes again, barely failing to capture him. At the same time, Charlie tries to deny that his feelings for popular high school junior Diego Ramirez have become something more than friendship. He learns the hard way that ignoring what his heart wants obstructs his development as a witch, making him defenseless against Grace and her growing threat. Will Charlie refuse to accept who he is, or will he acknowledge the truth, in order to stay alive and protect the people he loves? 

7/10 on the Rainbow Scale™ 🌈: it's a pretty fun, if anxiety-inducing, novel about a young gay witch figuring himself out. The first half is rather slow, but then it really picks up and you're suddenly catapulted into a world of magic and intrigue. It really focuses on the main character's anxiety and self-hate, which can be triggering for some people. It also gets a bit graphic here and there, but the characters are likable and the relationships very wholesome.
