Matthew Day Jackson

Community Hall (Aerial View)

A meticulously crafted aerial view rendered on plywood, this work by Matthew Day Jackson combines screenprinted enamel, aniline dye, and poly finish to map the architectural footprint of a communal gathering space. The inclusion of Plexiglas mirror fragments disrupts the bird's-eye perspective, implicating the viewer within the work's surface and blurring the boundary between observer and observed. Jackson's layered use of industrial and craft materials reflects his broader investigation into collective memory, infrastructure, and the built environments that shape human experience.
