This will be my third post on Roxanne Jackson.  The first was a result of shock and awe.  The curator at the gallery I work at showed me her website and while my jaw was dropping and eyes widening I formulated what images I wanted to pull for a post on her work.  Its gory, beautiful, brutal, soft, animal, and human.  Eventually she had a show at our gallery that is where the second post came from.

Roxanne has been invited as a resident artist at the Zentrum fur Keramik (the Ceramic Center) of Berlin.  She needs us to help out by making a pledge to support some of the costs of the trip.  I’m happy to say I’ve made a pledge and hope that you do too. Take a look at what she is offering for pledges and learn more about her here. Having met Roxanne personally and worked with her during the installation I have found her to be a dedicated and inspirational artist.  Take a look, think about it, and help a strong artist out!

UWM Union Atrium – Jason Lanka

Jason Lanka’s massive drawings and photos are now on display in the Atrium space in the Union.  They will be up for several weeks.  Here are some images of his work and some information about his work.

Boundary; something that marks or fixes a limit (as of territory). The line that divides one area of land from another.

The space at which our culture comes in contact with the environment inspires my creative work. Much can be understood about the nature of how our society defines its role and place within the natural world by the observation of this boundary.
I seek to address the demarcation of our species’ relationship with the land. Am I of the land or in the land? Each piece made within a lineage of exploration has set out to answer this question. Our identity as people and a nation are so often defined by our place within our environment and how we view our relationship with the natural world.
