Inward: A Meditation on Memory and Presence
Etienne Jackson's South Fulton County Invitational exhibition explores memory, ancestry, spirituality, and transformation through sculpture and mixed-media works informed by African diasporic histories.
ArtsXchange presents Inward: A Meditation on Memory and Presence, a solo exhibition by Etienne Jackson curated by Richard P. Washington as part of the South Fulton County Invitational.
Created to recognize and elevate artists whose work is deeply rooted in the cultural landscape of South Fulton County, the Invitational highlights artists whose practices demonstrate originality, discipline, and a distinctive artistic voice. For the 2026 exhibition, curator Richard P. Washington selected Jackson for the strength, maturity, and individuality of his sculptural language.
Through sculpture and mixed-media works, Inward examines the relationships between memory, history, imagination, and lived experience. Jackson's forms draw inspiration from the histories of the African diaspora and the traditions of the Luba people, using abstraction, geometry, texture, and material relationships to explore remembrance, transformation, and spiritual presence.
Working with wood, metal, and assembled materials, Jackson creates objects that function simultaneously as sculptures and vessels, connecting physical space with emotional, ancestral, and cultural experience.
