Behind-the-Scenes at the Escalette’s Art Preservation Center
November 25, 2025
As the Collections Manager of the Escalette Collection in Wilkinson College, a large portion of Jessica Bocinski’s day is devoted to coordinating and maintaining nearly 500 artworks on view throughout Chapman University; however, there are other aspects of her job that take place behind the scenes, involving the care of artwork in the collection not currently on display. Although very few people will have the opportunity to see these projects, they are essential to ensuring that all the art in the Escalette Collection is preserved for many years to come.
Read how Bocinski and her team of student workers preserve the artworks, and how more specifically, the process of re-housing two large paintings by Katherine Alexander, titled Stonehenge Series #3: Northeast 6.21/Summer Solstice Sunrise, which form a diptych.
