Breezy Swathes of Fabric Dance Amid Landscapes in Thomas Jackson’s Photos

Multi-colored lengths of fabric billow in the breeze in the work of Thomas Jackson, challenging the relationship between nature, human intervention, and consumerism. “Rooted in the tension between nature and artificiality, the installations pose questions about how we interact with the environment and how we might find equilibrium with it,” the artist writes in a statement.

“All of my photographs strain credulity by design,” Jackson says. “At first blush, they can appear to be digital fabrications, but in truth, they are entirely in-camera, printed with minimal post-production.” The undulating swathes of fabric in his ethereal photographs initially appear to float and drape on their own, almost superimposed onto various landscapes, but upon closer inspection, the images reveal taut strings holding the carefully layered sheets.

Currently, Jackson is focusing on a forthcoming book project and taking advantage of the time between major exhibitions to make new work. See more on Instagram.
