I see my work as an unceasing exploration into the understanding of mortality. My interest in unique materials helps to develop my ideas of attraction verses repulsion. I want my work to have both a strong visceral feeling while maintaining a direct cerebral presence. Jason currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
