Jackson Whitefield | Datum

Jackson Whitefield’s Datum translates movement through the landscape into sculptural and photographic form. Each step becomes a measure; each surface a register of contact. Through walking, climbing, and mapping, Whitefield explores how action and matter converge. His sculptural frames and dissected black-and-white prints hold the memory of terrain — not as representation, but as a physical record of experience.

This work begins in motion.
The act defines its form.

I move through valleys, coves, and pits.
Each step establishes a measure.
Each surface holds a register.
A relation forms between body and earth.

The process unfolds through layers

Cornwall is the site of contact,
a ground to test matter and distance.

The records become objects.
They follow the rise and fall of the land.
Sculptural frames hold the memory of ground.

They are not symbols.
They are facts.
An equation between action, matter, and place.
