Visions and Shadows: The Evolution of Mis Sombras from Sketch to Soul (Ep 95)
Kelly Jackson shares a behind-the-scenes mishap where an audio “clipping” error cut off half the original recording, prompting her to return and finish the episode later. She then spotlights a major milestone: on July 10, 2026, she unveiled Calma, the first guide of Mis Sombras’ second generation, at Tell a Vision—an exhibition of 21 artists transforming reclaimed TV frames—on view in downtown Baton Rouge through August 14 at the Arts Council’s Shell Gallery. Kelly explains the origins and ritual process behind Mis Sombras (“my shadows”), how guides emerge from sketches into reclaimed-material artworks with QR-code “portals,” and why Calma’s static-signal TV piece inspired a redesigned, more interactive guide bio experience. She previews the remaining 12 second-generation guides, possible new shows, and how her evolving sustainability choices will shape what comes next.
From the Episode:
- "Mis Sombras means 'my shadows' in Spanish, and I love languages."
- " But I loved it so much, and it was speaking to me so much that a whole world, a non-verbal world, a world without words, but a storytelling world, a world that was capable of translating a really serious or really heavy or really vulnerable or really specific or really transformational type of message without ever using a word."
- " Sometimes you paint stuff and you don't even know why you painted it."
- " Sometimes literally all that wants to come through at that time is just enough for you to recognize it when the time is right for it to be born into the world."
- " So I'm excited about that because it is certainly a richer, more engaging, more interactive experience than the first go round because I've learned so much."
- " I've shined the light of my consciousness on shadows, on some of these areas that I was unaware of, that I was unconscious of, are now right here out in the light for me to see and to say, "All right, so let's integrate."
