Jessica Wynne’s series "Do Not Erase" is named after a sign she saw on many of the blackboards she photographed while traveling around the world documenting mathematicians’ blackboards. This project explores the ways that people use symbols as a form of expression, but also as a universal language that crosses borders. Mathematicians are among the last holdouts in a digital age to use this method of communication and exploration. A book including over 100 images from this series, Do Not Erase, was published by Princeton University Press in 2021.

Wynne’s photographs have been exhibited at the Morgan Library & Museum (New York), the Whitney Museum at Champion (Connecticut), the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Edwynn Houk Gallery (New York), the Armory Show, Art Basel, and Paris Photo. She is a MacDowell fellow, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Fortune, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Scientific American, among many others. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Morgan Library & Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She received an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.
