Canadian Museum of Immigration and Artist in Residence

: It great to see what everybody comes up with, according to The Chronicle Herald. Jackson has been named the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 first artist in residence and he just begun a six-month journey alongside the museum visitors. I'm like 'That it! I'm putting a brush in your hand!' says Jackson. They won't just be watching him work — they'll be rolling up their sleeves and helping. Visitors can offer critique, help him work on the panels as he goes along or add something to a canvas that already painted. To Those Still At Sea will be a large-scale silhouette sculptural painting made from 600 interchangeable panels — each one a miniature painting — so Jackson expects the piece to change significantly as the months go on.
