Rosemary ‘Posy’ Jackson – A Celebration of Her Life

Posy Jackson (as everyone knew her) was an extraordinary human being with a huge heart and a supremely generous soul.

Posy was a graphic designer and photographer. She attended the Brearley School and graduated from the Garrison Forest School in Garrison (Maryland), Bradford Junior College and from the Parsons School of Design of the New School for Social Research in New York.

As someone who knew Posy from the early days of the Museum of Holography (the MOH, which she founded) I have a long view of the many things she accomplished in her life. I met her back in 1975, right after the first major exhibition of holography in New York that she curated with Jodie Burns at the International Center for Photography. This was a pivotal moment for holography, a chance for many people to see their first hologram, and inspiring many others who went on to create holographic art (notably Rudie Berkhout).
