Summary:

"...Jackman's book-objects are peopled with both direct and oblique references to certain characters she has adapted from Judeo-Christian religion. She has transformed Saint Simeon into a "simian" counterpart--a "speechless poet-prophet" who wears a conical hat, symbolic of both the dunce's stupidity and the wizard's wisdom and ability to initiate magical transformation. "St. Simian" ... character's history is more extensively recounted in The History of the Conical Hat and in Current Events, both 1990. Both works are booklets whose mixed-media pages are devoted to tracing visual occurrences of the cone shape, in sources ranging from a Van Eyck to a Frank Stella. These booklets exemplify Jackman's intuitive approach, which favors images and their symbolic possibilities over language." -- Artforum article, "Sandra Jackman" https://www.artforum.com/events/sandra-jackman-218161/
Unique artist's book that includes a symbolic language and collages made from mounted color photographs, ink, and paint on handmade paper.
