Visionary Multi Media Artist
Terence E Jackson received his first Super 8 camera when he was just twelve years old.
"I have always loved film and the mysterious thought of capturing a moment in time. My films tend to be reflective and introverted. They are always an escape into reality vs an escape into fantasy. I like to think that when a viewer watches one of my films they feel a sense of security and and a sense of the moment fleeting. I hope that the viewer leaves these images feeling as if as I had dropped a camera into the hidden crevice of one's soul."
Green Means Go is the Fourth installment to my latest project - 'The Enormity of Time'. A series of films in which I explore perception and how perception can be achieved through the piecing together of random thoughts. For example: movement, sound, or environment, which once cataloged in our mind make up memory. A memory which has often times juxtaposed unrelated thoughts resulting in the creation of altered or completely new remembrances of past events in our lives.

Yellowed Bark is the third installment to my latest project - 'The Enormity of Time'. This film deals with collective perceptions of culture and the role media plays in the construction of that perception. In the film I have intentionally reversed the usual depictions of Black and White culture in America.

The second installment to my latest project - 'The Enormity of Time'. This film explores the fine line between reverence and caricature. Propaganda & meaning well. Often times when perception is not re-examined we find ourselves holding up the same images as those we were hoping to get a way from.

The experimental film 'JAMESTOWN 1619' features music found on Terence E Jackson's CD - The Instrument
It is late summer. Out of the violent storm appears a Dutch ship. The ship's cargo hold is empty except for twenty or so Africans whom the captain and his crew have recently robbed from a Spanish ship. The captain exchanges the Africans for food, then sets sail.
It's not clear if the Africans are considered slaves or indentured servants. Records of 1623 and 1624 list them as servants, and indeed later records show increrasing numbers of free blacks, some of whom were assigned land. On the other hand, records from gatherings do not indicate the marital status of the Africans (Mr., Miss, etc.) and, unlike white servants, no year is associated with the names--information vital in determining the end of a servant's term of bondage. Most likely some Africans were slaves and some were servants. At any rate, the status of people in bondage was very confusing, even to those who were living at the time. Whatever the status of these first Africans to arrive at Jamestown, it is clear that by 1640, at least one African had been declared a slave. This African was ordered by the court "to serve his said master or his assigns for the time of his natural life here or elsewhere." The terrible transformation of racial slavery was underway.
