ARTIST STATEMENT:
Jackson’s practise is fuelled by a desire to engage and understand certain problems when faced with a specific image. These images derive from a fascination and pleasure involved in the world of the violent, de-based, voyeuristic and animal. Ideas of freedom both physically and mentally are played out in a scene linked within an internal anxiety that both propels and immerses both the head and the heart, opening a space wherein the viewer and the artist are placed with a forum of power relations underpinned by its need of paint and life.
