- Biographical Information
- "Jackson II" is a metal collage made in 1983. I used metal elements painted with acrylic paint., vitreous porcelain enamel or simply left bare. When layered to make a collage, these different elements create a depth and variety of surfaces. The palcement of these forms is abstract, yet suggestive of landscape elements.The name I used for this series, "Jackson," is to honor my grandfather-in-law and the Salmon river Country in Idaho where he lived. ( Bronson, 1987)
