Roxanne Jackson is a ceramic artist and mixed-media sculptor living in Brooklyn, NY. Her macabre works are black-humoured investigations of the links between transformation, myth, and kitsch. Fascinated with the natural processes of decay and destruction- particularly when in conflict with human systems- Jackson investigates the unconscious mind through its relationship with the animal world, revealing certain truths about the human condition. Mutated creatures, such as the ravenous werewolf are created in the murky depths of our collective subconscious. These images ride the boundaries between animal and human, instinct and reason, the conscious and the subconscious. Comprised of evocative, poignant layers of meaning, Jackson invites the viewer to contemplate what it means to be human, to connect with a deeper side of oneself.

Anatomy is intentionally garbled: brain matter spills out like disemboweled intestine; a nose resembling a sacrum turns an oral cavity into a pelvic bowl; canine ears echo the wings of a sphenoid bone inside an extraterrestrial skull…her surfaces reinforce the duality of her figures: lethal horns are finished with pearlescent glaze and pierced through with gold…. The soft becomes hard, the visceral becomes ornamental, beauty and ferocity commingle. Art Critic, Artist. Excerpt from the essay for the exhibition Mother at the Art Gym in Oregon In my work, I explore themes of extinction, death and transformation. I am fascinated with the natural processes of decay and destruction. Nature is referenced not by depicting the virile stag, but by illustrating its inevitable decay. Valuing macabre sensibilities, my work is also seasoned with inspiration derived from both the banality of pop culture and the idiosyncrasies of different subcultures. The final result may seem uncanny or black-humored.
Roxanne Jackson's macabre works are black-humored, investigating the link between human transformation, myth and kitsch. She lives in Brooklyn, NY. The malleable quality of clay is conducive to my intuitive process of sculpting; I see the form evolve. And this may provide some insight into who we are and this I find amusing. The head is then flayed by splicing it down the center and opening it. Your work is very interested in the female body. For you, why is this form so regenerative and how do you continue to find new inspiration in it?
