Tomashi Jackson
Tomashi Jackson (b. 1980 Houston, TX; lives and works in Cambridge, MA and New York, NY) combines practices of painting, printmaking, and sculpture with archival research in areas of public infrastructure policy. The work interrogates intersections between formal languages of visual art and political languages that drive histories of segregation, voting rights, education, transportation, labor, and housing in the United States.
