Rotunda Project: Thomas Jackson
Pennsylvania-based artist Thomas Jackson (b. 1971; Philadelphia) harnesses the wind and lightweight nylon tulle
in pastel shades to create ethereal works of art that blur the boundaries between landscape photography, sculpture, and kinetic art. His ever-changing and delicately mesmerizing work appears to morph from a solid to a
liquid, and from fire to billowing smoke. This site-specific commission for the MBMA’s Rotunda marks the first time
that Jackson’s work has been shown in Tennessee.
