Central to Jason’s practice is an exploration of community and connection through tactile mark-making. His ceramic vessels serve as vehicles for connecting with others: objects meant to be held, carrying the traces of his hands into others’ hands. Through working with clay and engaging in collaborative public participation, Jason emphasizes the physicality of the hand and the intimacy embedded in each gesture. This approach allows his work to become an archive of the uniqueness and evidence of the human hand.
This focus on the hand is further amplified through soda firing, a process that accentuates surface, indentation, and irregularity. The resulting textures heighten both tactile and visual engagement, allowing each vessel to emerge with its own character. Like people, no two pieces are the same; each bears its own idiosyncrasies, shaped by touch, process, and chance.
GOAL! | Group Exhibition Since 1930, the World Cup has been moving from country to country, bringing soccer fans from around the world together. For the first time since 1994, the United States is serving as the World Cup host. GOAL! is an exhibition celebrating the international soccer tournament and the welcome infusion of cultural diversity into the Midwest. Artists from around the country have designed their own “team jersey” as a welcome to our international visitors. Visit the gallery to design your own jersey to hang on the lobby wall!
