“My recent work deals with the period of American history from its inception throughout the Civil War and in particular the spirits of those who have come and gone but remain anonymous and unaccounted for through war, slavery, poverty or the passage of time. Although they are no longer physically present, their spirits remain with us as they have become one with nature – embodied within the life forms that emerge from the earth. It is important to me to honor those who came before so that we as descendants could continue to build a society that does credit to the memory of those ancestors.
“The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War, a war which cost the lives of 700,000 people and one million horses and mules. Having grown up in Culpeper, Virginia, one of the most strategic locations in the entire Civil War, I feel a deep connection to the people and events of that era.” – Hubert Jackson
