FANZINE

Artist Patrick Jackson stands beside his – the most fragile piece I’ve seen so far at NADA, and one of the loveliest. The sculpture of grandmaesque fire mantle figurines is balanced by boxes of mirrors and glass, the weight distributed and adjusted by coins inside the boxes (unseen of course). “Like balancing a needle on a record player?” I asked.  “Yeah that is how that is done, isn’t it, what is it taped?” I think Jackson said, as I didn’t tape (in the other sense) our talk yesterday.

I almost backed into Jackson’s sculpture above (yeah I know) trying to take this picture below of gallerist Kate Werble and Christopher Chiappa across the way. A true lady and gent, those two are.
