Jackson sits astride the the apex of Toynbee Studios roof in East London for an eight-hour duration over two consecutive days in the winter of 2015.

"Quietly moving to behold, Jackson's piece is definitely art - beautiful, disturbing and disruptive...
She is a formidable figure, not to be messed with, gazing across the contemporary city as if protecting it. Perhaps from itself."
