Shanna Jackson

I am very intrigued with a lot of my classmates work, especially Shanna Jackson. I chose her because I have never been in a class with her before, therefore I have never really seen her work before or how she works. I was drawn to her work because I felt like it contained the same aesthetic I have always been drawn to; dreamy and mesmorizing. The images she showed spoke to me even though I do not really know anything about her personal life, except that she has recently given birth. I found this aspect of her life profound because I felt like she wants to portray that side of her life, but at the same time, doesnt. I enjoy the stories that she has told through her imagery, even though she may not have a concrete concept or story line. The image of her bed with the projection on her wall told me a lot about her, all through one image. I thought in order for her to do this, her work portrays a strong emotion within it and I look forward to seeing more.
