Jack Sal on Artstamp.dk Jack Sal USA In 2001 when I was in residence at the Fundación Valparaiso in Almeria, Spain I saw the work of the Danish artist Albert Mertz for the first time. The next year I exhibited in Denmark for the first time and traded one of my drawings of for a drawing by Mertz* with a Danish collector. The following year I created Red/White, A Homage to Albert Mertz a site-specific installation dedicated to the artist at Senko Studio, Viborg, Denmark. The stamps produced for Artstamp.dk are based on tape and pigmented ink drawings/paintings produced in Amman, Jordan in 2009 on the occasion of the Jordan Festival commemorating of the Tenth Anniversary of the reign of Abdullah II ibn al-Hussein, King of Jordan. Made using the same technique as the Red/White drawings dedicated to Mertz, the works “make themselves” as the pigmented inks are absorbed by the cloth/silk tape into its weaved structure. As in all my works they are the result of the interaction of materials and process which recording the passage of time and in measuring space create a context through which Art becomes and interacts with the World.
