about jackson

NASHVILLE sculptor / painter / photographer

A REPRESENTATION OF THE HUMAN FORM IS THE OLDEST MAN-MADE OBJECT EVER FOUND, AND IN THE MILLENIA THAT HAS ENSUED, THE IMPULSE TO RECREATE OURSELVES HAS NEVER WANED. MUCH LIKE A CLASSIC BLUES SONG OR A FINGERPRINT, AS SIMILAR AS THEY MAY SEEM TO BE, NO TWO MANIFESTATIONS OF THESE THINGS CAN EVER BE THE SAME. FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE MEMORY, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED SOLEY TO RENDERING PEOPLE AS A VEHICLE TO EXPRESS THE JOY, HEARTACHE, IDIOCY, COUR-GAGE, INSECURITIES, QUIRKS AND COUNTLESS OTHER EMOTIONS AND ATTRACTIONS THAT WE ALL SHARE.
