Sarah Jackson

Directed by Ramona MacDonald
Canada, 1981 (documentary, 11 minutes, colour, English)
Also known as "Sarah Jackson Halifax 1980"

Film Description:
"Documenting the artist, Sarah Jackson, while she creates a wire sculpture, draws with ink on wet paper, and then, changes and alters the original in a series of shifts, discussing the connection of how art helps us to look at ourselves differently, too, even using insects, such as butterflies as a jumping off point in a metamorphosis sequence. At one point, the artist is shown creating a sculpture out of studio-created red foam and used baby bottle nipples. The film is seeded throughout with commentary on Sarah Jackson's work by others, along with commentary made by the artist herself during the creation process."
