About the Item
There are two Little Oil installations available with 6 sculptures each on top of LED light boxes.
Katherine Jackson has been working with glass and light together for many years, Recently, she's been making glass castings of vintage oil cans, and displaying them -- singly, in small groupings, or in vitrines -- on light boxes. So far she has created about 90, each one unique. The series is called Little Oil, alluding to Big Oil, and sometimes Small Oils, as in oil painting. But “oil” can mean many things. It has been a source of light (sometimes from unconscionable sources) since ancient times as well as a source of eternal light in many faith traditions. Set atop lightboxes, where each work glows from within, these pieces can simply seem like vessels of light itself. At times, they appear to me to transcend their relation to oil altogether, appearing anthropomorphic or creaturely, even biological. These days, I think of them as archeological artifacts, relics of a past, oil-based, civilization.
Necropolis is a print of a painting inspired by a map of the necropolis where the terra cotta soldiers are buried in China. As a print, the work becomes a map in itself -- of a burial site, and of the painting, whose multi-layered surface reflects the layered earth of the burial site.
Katherine Jackson lives and works in Brooklyn.
Her work has been exhibited extensively in galleries in New York City, elsewhere in the US, Rome and Berlin. It has been shown in numerous exhibitions focusing on art & technology and art & light. She has had solo shows at Bennington College and Hobart & William Smith Colleges.
Her large scale installation/exhibitions have been placed in various public spaces in Manhattan and include: a 6 month, multi-piece exhibition (celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the New York Public Library) at the Mid-Manhattan Library; a 6 month multi-piece exhibition in the windows of the NY Tenement Museum; and a multi-windows exhibit for the100th Anniversary of the Manhattan Bridge.
Recently, her installations and individual pieces have been exhibited at ODETTA, NYC, Park Place Gallery, 1 GAP Gallery, An installation of hers will be included in a sculpture show at the Venice Architectural Biennale 2021.
