To whet your appetitive for Kurt Jackson’s forthcoming exhibition Oak (which opens at The Base, Greenham this September), we are pleased to announce a new book focusing on Kurt’s painting, sculpture, poetry and prose inspired by this majestic tree.
For Jackson, the oak embodies beautiful fragility as much as gnarled, immovable permanence.
Each tree has a fascinating individual identity whilst part of an immense interconnected woodland world. The oak is a reservoir of great biodiversity, the tree itself an enormous life support system.
Jackson has spent a lifetime in studied observation to present the oak through his own techniques and gestures – relishing in the challenges of scale and form.
