Jack is a Chicago resident originally from northwestern Connecticut. He enjoys working in abstract with mixed media, and many paintings include sculptural elements.
Navigation and geographic exploration are featured prominently in his multi-media works. Jack finds a lot of inspiration cycling through the streets of Chicago and on other travels, picking up maps and street signs on his wanderings that are then incorporated with other found and upcycled objects into paintings and sculptures. Of all cartographic elements, Jack is most fascinated with the “you are here” location dot. The series of the same name, featuring images of extinct species and logarithmic tables, begs viewers to ponder their place in time and space.
With his recent paintings, Jack explores the tension between orientation, disorientation, and relationships. Using square canvases that feature symmetrical compositions of intersecting circles and paths that advance and recede from the canvas in an almost dizzying fashion, showing that there are consequences to our physical and psychological footprints.
