There’s that place.”

Jackson Schwartz today joined us Friday fiveRecording!

1. In the forest

I grew up here. I chose it because I feel a lot of ways to form our childhood. Growing up here, I’ve always been out of research, adventurous, making stories and interaction with natural world systems. I think much of my fascination informs the facets of materiality: texture, color, depth, sample and shape.

2 Clouds on the water

I live in an incredibly unique part of the world and I took a picture of this family cabin. Our geological region is full of water, and I did not realize that I did not move in Australia for 5 years, and then I return. There’s something calms in being on the water, it’s my place of renewal.

3. Clouds at home

This photo was taken from my window at home. I find awe in clouds. They help me imagine and make me feel like there is a feeling of something bigger than me. Clouds are the ultimate ship of light, nothing else compares.

4. Snow branches

Two years ago, I started the practice of looking for a miracle and awe in my immediate environment. This photo was early morning taken in a city block of my house after snowfall. The cold is something that many people tell about wanting to escape from me and it is a wonderful weather for beauty, clarity and focus.

5. LED and light

I find the ice to be such an interesting water shape. This scene from frozen lake with the sun falls in the horizon behind him. The iceberg of ice reminds me of the glass and the point is inspiration for my work.
