Jackson Webb

'Standing Reserve' 2009 (detail), purple tack in perspex

Jackson Webb is a collaboration between British artists Mark Jackson and Charlotte Webb.

It is comforting to find another collaboration which focuses on the actual idea of the entity that collaboration produces. They, like TurnHurst explore the complexities of co-authorship, and set no definitive rules for their practice. They see their collaboration as:

'a changeable, fluid entity that is a product of our collective cosciousness. The objects we make often become something outside of our individual authorial control, perhaps more like the product of a third, invisible collaborator'.

They work within media that is traditionally associated with individual subjectivity, such as painting, sculpture and drawing. They use purple tack as a mode of making, and dip it in paint or as a vehicle for transferring pigment. Their practice is continually shifitng and I found their work intriguing and twee.
