Aaron S. Coleman (@aaron_s_coleman), Eli Craven (@elicraven), Bryn Jackson (@j4kd), and Emily Clark Zarse (@emilyzarse) bring new work to that rewards curiosity and close attention. A neighborhood becomes a record of belonging. A photograph becomes something to touch. A sculpture grows and changes. Silk carries the marks of care. Step closer and see where curiosity takes you.⁠

Meet AAW Artist Bryn Jackson!

Bryn Jackson is an artist, curator, and cultural advisor based in Indianapolis whose practice — grounded in ecological justice and institutional accountability — positions nature as a medium to confront complex histories and foster connectivity. As an interdisciplinary artist, he unites sculpture, photography, time-based media, arts administration, community engagement, and habitat design to produce works that promote environmental restoration and collective healing.

Bryn Jackson’s Apung Iru’s Abundance is a land art and environmental restoration project along Bean Creek, on the campus of Big Car Collaborative’s Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis (CAMi). Together, they are working to restore a stretch of the creek that is currently overrun by invasive plant species, stabilize the eroding stream bank, mitigate flooding, and create healthier habitats for wildlife and residents alike.

Bryn’s inspiration for this project comes from his Filipino heritage and the cosmology of Apung Iru, an immortal river deity from the precolonial Philippines. Apung Iru represents both the power and generosity of rivers, reminding us that water is both a living presence and a shared responsibility. This story offers a cultural framework for understanding ecological care as reciprocal: when we nourish the land, it nourishes us in return.

As an artist, Bryn’s practice is rooted in ecology and relationality. He often works with living or otherwise organic materials to make visible the connections between environmental health, current events, and colonial history. Apung Iru’s Abundance brings these threads together in a tangible way: using art as a tool to strengthen community relationships to place—and to one another—through the shared act of caring for the land.

Few materials evoke deep time the way that stone does. So, when choosing a stone to place within a project, it’s not simply that I’m selecting a material, but a witness capable of carrying the memory of a site far beyond the limits of my own comprehension. Like being in the presence of giants.
