Suzanne Jackson (American, b. 1944) has worked experimentally across genres including drawing, painting, printmaking, bookmaking, poetry, dance, theater and costume design. In her lyrical work from the 1960s and 70s, figures and recurring symbols are built up through multiple layers of acrylic wash on canvas, creating ethereal paintings in which any firm distinction between depicted elements is dissolved. Jackson appears in conversation with Giampaolo Bianconi, Associate Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, Art Institute of Chicago.
