Jackson's pairings present puzzles
By AMANDA PIERRE, DES MOINES REGISTER STAFF WRITER
There is no code to figuring them out. There is
only the presentation, and viewers can make their own guesses about what
Jackson is suggesting...
Strangely, Jackson's very different images always
rhyme in figurative ways. Some of the paired photos seem to have compositional
links to each other, such as matching lines, shapes or patterns. Others
imply a narrative — like photos on a magazine page without a written explanation
to make sense of them. Some have subtly rhyming colors or themes. One
piece, selected for shows in Boston and New York, presents a most mysterious
duality....
The intrigue keeps a viewer interested...
Images like these, he said, can serve as symbols
that have particular meanings to viewers but different meanings for each
viewer.
