Jackson Gordena was a talented creator and artist who left behind a legacy of exquisite craftsmanship. From 1935 to 1942, he crafted various masterpieces that showcased his skill and attention to detail. One such creation is the Saddle, a true testament to his expertise in leatherwork. With every stitch carefully placed, this saddle not only served its practical purpose but also stood as a work of art. In addition to saddles, Gordena Jackson also ventured into other forms of artistic expression. The Missal Holder he created around 1939 showcases his ability to combine functionality with beauty. This piece not only held religious texts but also displayed intricate designs that reflected his unique style. Another remarkable creation by the Indian Basket from the years 1935-1942. This basket exemplifies his dedication to preserving traditional Native American craftsmanship while adding his own innovative touch. One cannot overlook the Negro Minstrel artwork from around 1937, which demonstrates Jackson's talent for capturing cultural moments through visual representation. Through this piece, he shed light on an important aspect of African-American history and culture. Gordena's passion for equestrian artistry shines through in pieces like the Bridle and Horse Hair Bridle from approximately 1937. These creations showcase meticulous detailing using horsehair and leather materials, reflecting both elegance and functionality. The Bracelet from around 1936 displays Gordena's versatility as an artist by incorporating different materials into wearable art forms. His Embroidered Picture from the same year exhibits delicate stitching techniques that bring life to vibrant scenes captured within fabric frames. The Mosaic Marble "Ornament" created circa 1936 stands out as an exceptional example of Gordena's ability to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art through careful arrangement and composition. Feather Stitching became another medium where Jackson excelled; examples can be seen in pieces like Feather Stitching (c. 1937).
