A.A.S. Southern Illinois University “Because we are saturated with life, because we are human, our greatest interest is with things human.” Cindy Jackson uses figurative sculpture is as a way of connecting with the outside world. “My desire is to make art that matters. Art with integrity. Art that doesn’t talk down to us or show us the negativity of the world. Art for me is finding a way to represent people as real people, honoring them as who they are. Many of my sculptures deal with peoples’ relationships.”Cindy is presently developing a project called “REQUIEM for Babi Yar” - A proposal for a monumental sculptural environment to honor all those who perished in the Babi Yar ravine. The Babi Yar massacre is considered to be “the largest single massacre in the history of the Holocaust”, yet most people are unaware of this genocide.
