tulle 052
This photograph captures a striking installation of colorful tulle fabric suspended in mid air above a lush green meadow dotted with yellow wildflowers. The translucent material creates a fan or wing like shape with gradients of pink, yellow, orange, and white that seem to defy gravity through invisible fishing line. The natural landscape of trees and open field provides a serene backdrop that contrasts dramatically with the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the floating fabric. Thomas Jackson's practice involves staging elaborate outdoor installations using everyday materials that he then photographs to create surreal moments of beauty and wonder. The work explores themes of suspension, ephemeral beauty, and the transformation of ordinary objects through artistic intervention.

Rinus Van de Velde
Belgian · b. 1983
Van de Velde constructs elaborate fictional environments and staged scenes that blur the boundary between reality and fabrication, sharing Jackson's interest in meticulously constructed scenarios documented through a single definitive image. Both artists treat the construction process as integral to the work while the photograph or drawing becomes the lasting artifact.

Daniel Firman
French · b. 1966
Firman creates installations featuring objects and figures arranged in ways that appear to defy gravity and physical logic, directly paralleling Jackson's swarms of objects suspended in impossible formations in natural settings. Both artists exploit scale and repetition to produce a sense of wonder and unreality within otherwise straightforward documentary imagery.
