Mitzevich continued: ‘One of the fascinating elements of Jeffrey’s practice is that he manages to juggle a ceramic studio, a textile studio, a painting studio, a moving image studio, and everything else in between those cracks. And his intensity for art making isn’t limited by materials or mediums.
