In this exhibition, you can compare Jackson’s interpretation of cardinals to Audubon’s cardinals from the Birds of America and to a cardinal specimen. Jackson’s cardinal is much less vibrantly red than either other example, but he is also reinterpreting the cardinal’s environment as the red glow of our sun, billions of years from now, as it grows so large it may engulf the earth entirely. Maybe it’s the “billions of years away” aspect of this scenario, or the tranquility of these cardinals, but the death of the sun is an apocalypse worth rooting for to me.
