Norman G. Jackson is a Tongass Tlingit from the Teikweidi Clan of Ketchikan, Alaska. In the mid-1980s, Jackson studied at the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Indian Art. A frequent participant and teacher at the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan, Jackson has also apprenticed under such great artists as Phil Janze and Dempsey Bob.
This mask reflects Bob’s influence on Jackson, with characteristic heavy eyelids and broad facial features. This alder mask is masterfully carved and reminiscent of Jackson’s work in the 2001 exhibit and catalogue From the Wolf and Bear: Three Northern Artists (Stan Bevan, Norman Jackson, Ken McNeil).
