Ruby Jackson’s Art At JJML

Sag Harbor artist Ruby Jackson will have a one-person show at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor, with an opening reception on Sunday, July 10, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Jackson calls the show “a journey through decades with a person who plays with materials.” On display over three floors will be her dazzling mobiles made entirely of glitter glue; hand-colored paper wall sculptures that leap off the surface in exuberant delight; obsessively crafted polymer-clay miniatures of foods (ham, lox and bagel, piranha), forests and banquets; droll portraits of flowers lounging on overstuffed chairs and couches; snorkeling-inspired, drawings, paintings, and sculpture, and the proverbial “much more.”

Jackson grew up in Queens and developed a variety of sculpture techniques while living in New York City. After moving to Long Island, she earned a degree in art education from Long Island University. For more than a decade, she served as assistant to the director of the Pollock-Krasner House in East Hampton. She is the two-time recipient of the Best Sculpture award at the Guild Hall Members’ Show and is the author and illustrator of “An Artist’s Life,” a children’s coloring book on the artist Lee Krasner. She lives in Sag Harbor with her husband, magician and author Allan Zola Kronzek.

The show runs July 7 through August 10 at the John Jermain Memorial Library, 201 Main Street, Sag Harbor. For details visit johnjermain.org.
