Neon whirls and electric sparks take
over these exciting works of art inspired by Dr. Seuss, M.C. Escher, comic
books and myriad geometric designs and patterns. It is spellbound by the
magical results of a lengthy exposure and the manipulation of several light sources,
photographer Jeremy Jackson (aka Tacky) works almost absolutely in light
painting. He’s the resident of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and he
makes kaleidoscopic light paintings. Since 2008, Jackson spends most of his
time waving lights in front of his camera, shooting on 35mm film as well as
digital. All of Jackson's elaborate, kaleidoscopic pictures are constructed in
camera without the use of Photoshop, except for an occasional rotation or crop.
For this method, light is the brush and the environment is the canvas
determined by space and time. Jackson perceives infinite potential in this
medium. He proclaims, "The techniques are infinite. The world is at your
canvas. Anything you can visualize can be painted in a million different ways. Making
his living from workshops on light painting, Jackson makes all his photos easily
available for download because he believes that the art itself should be free
to the public.
