Daniel Jackson
Headboard, 1969
Material: Cherry
A masterwork by legendary Studio Craft artist and educator Daniel Jackson – a highly sculptural, biomorphic headboard which incorporates two table surfaces on either side of the form. The work’s sweeping, undulating lines flow poetically through various topographic carves and organic protuberances.
Except for one of the table surfaces, the entire work is constructed from one slab of wood demonstrating Jackson’s Jackson’s design and construction mastery.
The work was exhibited in the 2003 exhibition Daniel Jackson: Dovetailing History at the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA.
Daniel Jackson was born in Milwaukee in 1938. His mother was an antique dealer, and he was buying and restoring antiques by the age of 13. His later training was based in the Scandinavian approach to design, having studied under Tage Frid at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He followed that with an apprenticeship to Peder Moos in Denmark from 1960-62.
