Statement
A multidisciplinary artist, Jason’s work challenges the boundaries of memory, perception and the passage of time. A self-referential documentary process sourced from news imagery, daily journals, ephemera, photographs, travel literature and sci-fi imagery is used to form a subjective observation by which reality becomes more fictitious and the staged becomes more realistic.

His work is a cataloging of his experiences, a kind of evidence in which the tourist and the documentarian are both looking for authentic experiences within the history of information exchange. Often working in series and sets he mines information and materials directly from his observations and experiences. He re-imagines the subtle nuances of tourist destinations and regurgitates them as metaphysical signifiers. His multi-layered and often multi-meaning work makes us aware of the complex relationships between subject, artist and spectator.
