Jacalyn Brookner

My heartfelt love to you and your family. Jackie was a visionary and had accomplished so much and yet I feel there was still much to be done. I hope her legacy lives on for many generations to come and into the future. Such a tragic loss for the art world and the collective universe. She was an inspiration to me.

Jackie's passing is incredibly sad, and my family sends our love and support to Terry and others in her family. Knowing her burial method, I can only recall the time she told me with a twinkling grin about a British couple (a midwife and 'organic undertaker') who described their joint role as helping people manage their bodies 'from sperms to worms'. I wish her peace in completing her own cycle of existence, which she routinely contemplated more than most. Jackie inspired many people as a bridge between art and science, reshaping our collective visions about society within nature. From her work facilitating community actions, through many late night philosophical discussions, to her enduring and self-sustaining art, she lives on fully.
