PAST EXHIBITS Jason Green
Statement My recent sculpture includes brick, tile and other fabricated architectural elements. The work is made using processes that are adapted from traditional but outmoded methods of building. My work draw upon material and site specificity for both information and inspiration. I use specific clays and fabrication techniques as signifiers and carriers of meaning while investigating the fluctuating relationships between physical space, the body, time and memory. I intend to question, investigate and reveal ideas dealing with decoration, decay, construction and reconstruction.
The forms in my work are created by pressing clay into molds made from both plaster and wood. The molds are similar to those which were used in the architectural ceramics industry to create the decorative stone-like facades of steel framed buildings. The patterned surfaces are transferred using clay slip and embossed wallpaper. After the initial bisque firing, my work is glazed and fired multiple times. The results of my labor celebrate and pinpoint the constant and constantly fluxing characteristics of immediacy while referring and alluding to the past. The repetitious aspects of process and production recall the ritual and habitual aspects of daily work. These ideas are amplified by forms and schematics which aim to recall the body, its natural functions and its immediate environment. The work also alludes to mechanical and technological circuits while cultivating relationships between geologic and personal measurements of time.
