These are rituals and rites where the heat of both sex and violence burn. Animal entrails and ripe fruit glisten in the artist’s monumental: a banquet table reminiscent of Renaissance wealth, abundant with decay and delicacies.
Jackson embraces the sensational, the pleasures and degradations found in the realm of the physical: voluptuous slices of pastel cakes, the luster of a single pearled orb, and the final, frozen screams of Medusa’s fallen head.
