Watch Jessica Rankin introduce the works in her exhibition ‘in the air / a memory’ at White Cube Mason’s Yard. ✨⁠⁠ ⁠ Jessica’s work quotes widely, from the poetry of Alice Notley and Sylvia Plath to that of her mother, Jennifer Rankin.⁠ ⁠ ‘Hived Like Honey (SP)’ (2025) takes its title from Sylvia Plath’s poem ‘Epitaph for Fire and Flower’ (1957), in which the poet reflects on love and passionate destruction.⁠ ⁠ With this, Jessica’s choice of title points to a sense of creation and impermanence apparent in her painting, conjuring the golden ooze of honey and the knitted structure of the hive, at once fragile and resilient.⁠ ⁠ 📍 The exhibition is on view until 28 February 2026 at White Cube Mason’s Yard.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition.⁠ ⁠ Video © Christian Kingo⁠ ⁠ #whitecube j_ss_c_r_nk_n #jessicarankin #londonartexhibitions #contemporarypainting
