About the Exhibition: This exhibit moves between cutout works on paper, shaped-panel paintings, and assemblage-based mixed media. Some pieces showcase delicate, hand-drawn line-based compositions that invite close inspection through repetition, rhythm, and detail. Others use airbrush and traditional brush techniques to fold space and forge illusion: surfaces rendered to look like weathered wood, oxidized metal, or dimensional forms.

Some creations resemble relics unearthed from alternate realities; others read like field notes from imagined worlds, documenting mythical creatures that inhabit these realms. At the heart of this exhibition is Jason’s evolving language of illusion, materiality, and myth.
