Reaching Across The Cosmic And Mundane, He Draws Visual Connections That Like Constellations, Are At Once Imagined And Compelling. Jacks Is The Subject Of A Monograph, Represented In Most Public Collections And In 2014, Was Honoured With A Major Retrospective At The National Gallery Of Victoria, Melbourne.
