Deborah Jack

Deborah Jack is a St. Maarten and Jersey City-based multi-disciplinary artist whose work is based in video/sound installation, photography, painting and text. Her work engages a variety of strategies for mining the intersections of histories, cultural memory, ecology and climate change. Her current practice connects the effects of the hurricane storm surge in relation to coastal erosion, the saltwater inundation of intertidal spaces She imagines these rhizomatic, protective intersectional landscapes and wetlands as sites of resistance. This altered landscape, post-surge, though temporary, is an exciting conceptual space regarding the intangible memory of water as it intersects with the land and the people who live there.
