Burnt Sienna Sky explores the passage of time, and how it shapes one’s existence. It’s about acceptance and being comfortable in your own skin. But most of all Burnt Sienna Sky is about finding the courage of resilience and speaking up when you think something needs to change, even if you think no one will listen.
The thing I love most about Jackie’s work is her use of colour, and remember that light and shadow are just colour and the absence thereof. “After the camera flashes, / I want to be the one standing beside you in / glorious cinematic technicolour.”
See? In there stands the entire universe.
