Currently Showing Upstairs@
Fragile Earth
March 19 – August 13 2022
The current exhibition at our Upstairs@JacksonFoundation gallery space showcases Fragile Earth, the work of textile artist Sally Baldwin. Sally is the Jackson Foundation’s current Invited Artist, chosen due to the unique nature her work – it being interesting, honest art that demands an audience.
Fragile Earth is a body of work evoking natural forms such as trees, pods, flowers, insects, sea life, water.
The materials used – recycled paper, handmade paper, silk waste, silk, cotton scrim – are ghostly, white and ephemeral, suggesting delicate, fragile, finely balanced and vulnerable landscapes.
The pieces in Fragile Earth reflect some of the issues involved in our current environmental crisis.
