While the theme of place is certainly palpable in Jodi Hays’ work, notions of the non- place and exile push to the forefront with equal force. The spaces Hays depicts are not those of home and habitation, but rather that of temporality, upheaval, and exclusion...In these works, Hays employs physical space as a metaphor for the psychological spaces we navigate.
