Space In Bird
Complications from eye surgeries and corrective lenses to alleviate a condition known as Strabismus have misaligned the speed at which Jackson perceives different colour frequencies. This brain/eye disconnection resulted in an over-correction and exaggerated sense of three dimensional space. These side effects prompted Jackson to explore how colour informs and transforms objects and space.
Using finches as a motif Jackson created individual colour spaces that reflect each bird's unique plumage.
As the series progresses day turns to night and the finches fragment and fly away, eventually transforming into pure forms of movement and colour.
Space In Bird is presented alongside journal entries that shed light on the process, inner turmoil and self-doubt of an artist revelling in colour while confronting his ever changing perception of colour and space.
