Overview

A new book from poly-dimensional artist, Jesse Draxler. Provoking the specter of desire itself, The World Is Mine & I’m Thinking About You brings us into the perspective of one of today’s most compelling artists and creators. Spanning medium and context Draxler’s work effortlessly carries his unique aesthetic philosophy through these 150+ pages, and with clever use of minimally interspersed texts he loosely narrates a practice of continually raising the bar, confronting social media and industry, remaining on the bleeding edge of both aesthetic and new media, and obsessively questioning it all as he encounters it. Draxler’s second major publication with Sacred Bones is a snapshot of an artist at a high, while tirelessly chasing after the next.
