About the Artist:
When a word is repeated, it loses its meaning and becomes merely a sound. Every day we repeat our motions, walking to and from the loo, staring off transfixed into space after feeding the cat, serving a cup of tea. The tracks of our motions would become congealed if we left a gleaming slimy snail trail after us. The tracks would build up till they became neat rows of rounded and lumpy forms, like Jason’s ceramics.

As a performance artist and ceramicist, Jason jumps back and forth. Sometimes he chooses to embody the repetition, and sometimes he makes the forms himself.

The forms of Jason’s ceramics are everything that is yet to come, that already is, that will never be, that is in Singapore and not there and that is in his body when he performs. They are all the same in their difference, all showing the meaning that comes and goes and the ridiculous task of trying to find it and pin it down. The ceramics move and at the same time are still. The repetition allows for that, the rows of lines or warts giving the viewer the choice of staying on one of the spheres, climbing into it, or moving on to the next.
