Matthew Day Jackson’s diverse practice encompasses sculpture, painting, collage, photography, drawing, video, performance, furniture design, and installation art. The concept of connectivity is at the core of Jackson’s work. He investigates a wide range of philosophical, scientific, and historical themes that he interweaves with his personal narrative. Jackson’s practice employs intensive research and production processes to create objects that coincide with a reassembling of history. Lead, Formica, epoxy and bronze, as well as geodesic structures and found objects are used in works that are equally intricate and monumental.
