"Images of Women,"
sculptures by artist
Carole Jackson and
Polaroid photo-ma
nipulations by Steve La
Kiccia are on display
at the University's
Collier House/Faculty
Club until the end of
the month.
Women are a common theme in Jackson's
work. “As a woman in this time, I find it
important to use female forms in art in a way
that shows diversity, strength and vulnerabil
ity in women." explained Jackson, who has a
B.A. in sculpture from the University. "My
sculptures do not objectify women but, rather,
they reveal them as entities with creative
power.”
Jackson’s bronze and clay sculptures cel
ebrate the female form in all the different
shapes and sizes that women come in. Each
piece opens an emotional window on women,
revealing them in states of anguish, despera
tion, tranquility or joy - “all the emotions we
women experience,” Jackson said. The sculp
tures of different female forms were inspired
because “there is a lot of body image stuff that
women am still working on."
The response to her work has been unex
pected. "I've had women look at my sculptures
and go 'Oh my god. it's beautiful. It's not
perfect, but it looks like me.' ” Jackson said. "I
didn't start out expecting anything. I was do
ing it for myself But now I'm glad I could make
a positive impact"
Jackson, who lives in Eugene, has also re
cently completed new work on mythological
dream images of women in clay.
"These mythologies are important in what 1
do because they are a real part of our beginning
as a culture." she said.
As a child growing up in Coos Bay. Jackson
had always been fascinated with clay and
color, ami painting was what she started out
doing It was only at Portland Stale University
that a painting and sculpture course got her
interested in sculpture
"! enjoy the feeling of making form," she
said. "Describing things in form is my lan
guage, my way of communicating There's
some sort of consciousness I get into when I’m
modeling clay that I don’t get from anything
else."
The satisfaction she gets from sculpting is
as much of an intellectual one as it is emo
tional. The more she sculpts. Jackson said, the
more she discovers things about the art she
never knew before.
"I like the way lines and forms work to
gether and communicate to creatts patterns anil
designs that draw a person in." she said "! try
to create something that intrigues them and
makes them curious I'm happiest when I can
tie it all together."
The second exhibit features the work of La
Kiccia, an Elmira artist who manipulates
Polaroid SX-70 photographs to make them
look like impressionistic paintings. His latest
work includes nudes copied in the style of
19th century French impressionist painters
Dogas. Renoir and Monet.
Here is a guy who can take a Polaroid snap
shot and turn out picture paintings like some
kind of Van Gogh.
This is art and chemistry at work What he
can do is take a Polaroid snapshot of. say. your
basic '54 Chrysler and manipulate the photo
chemicals with the kind of dental tool a hy
gienist uses.
By pressing, stroking and brushing the sur
face of the developing snapshot. La Riccia
causes colors and lines to blur in the soft,
shimmering style of impressionist painters
"The Polaroid picture is made of thick emul
sion. and you're able to press down without
ripping the picture.” said La Riccia. who took
up photography 16 years ago. "As soon as you
press down on the chemicals it becomes very
fluid down there.”
He's been experimenting with the process
since 1979 but didn't take it up seriously until
three years ago when he began giving photo
paintings to friends and exhibiting his work
Borrowing a friend's SX-70 camera, he gave
it a try and then developed bis 'painting' tech
nique over the next few years
"Back then. I’d take maybe four pictures of a
particular scene, then I'd take one at a time and
manipulate it." said the artist, whose works
have won local acclaim and have been dis
played at places like the Eugene Public Li
brary. the Alder Gallery and the PhotoZone
Gallery. “I'd start off in one corner, with a
swirling action, and if it looked like it would
work. I'd continue.”
Though it became difficult to manipulate
film when Polaroid altered the chemistry of
their SX-70 film for faster development in the
mid 80s. La Riccia's experiments in finding
new techniques to revive the process have
been successful.
The exhibitions can be viewed from 8 a m to
7 p m weekdays. Collier House/The Faculty
Club is located on 1170 E 13th Ave.. across
from the EMU.
