Notes

"I think that really, in making art, I'm trying to give my creativity complete free reign, and acknowledge my location. We are products of this technological age, where things no longer move in a linear pattern. The linear model has changed. In making art I'm trying to communicate many things simultaneously: my political concerns, taking responsibility for the art as self-portrait, amateur history lessons etc. I'm interested in making art that can be a mirror of the time that I'm in, as a microcosm." Matthew Day Jackson
