“The contrast of chaos with order provides the structure for my work. The appearance of order breaks down under scrutiny, which mirrors my understanding of reality. My emotions seek pattern and rationality, while my intellect sees mismatched parts and ambiguous systems. The core of my work revolves around juxtaposing these diverse structures and their uncertain references.” Jay Zerbe completed Bachelor of Arts degree from The American University of Beirut, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University. Previously working as graphic designer, web designer, and virtual world designer, Jay Zerbe is now as a full time artist.
