Jason Burnett







He speaks about his influences from his adolescence, relationships, and pop culture.



"I aspire to create vessels that celebrate vulnerability and beauty, that sugarcoat life’s escapades and serve as a bridge between the real and surreal."

I like his work he has a nice unique style, child like.


The only one I can link his work to would be maeve, he mentions in his statement that his subject matter is home.

"in search of an Honest man" 2011








"Form - Form", 2010










"A Fish Story", 2010




I know Emma O'Toole is doing hands so he maybe of some relevance to her. He also uses molds so would be relevant to Myself, Maeve, Danielle, Robert, Domnick and Gillian. He seems to work on manipulinating casts

Alot of his work is based on religion even though there is no metion of this in his statement.

Jason Briggs

"Angel"







"Pinch"








"Push"
 




His work is very life like but does not represent any life form. I read somewhere that it takes him about seven months to produce one piece. You can see this in the detail of his pieces. He uses porcelain, hair, steel and nail varnish in most of his work. The hair he implants individually. I really like his work because it shows so much imagination.


I can't pin point his work to anyone as such but I think his artist statement would relate to most.


"I recognize – and act upon – a profound desire to push, poke, squeeze, stroke, caress, and pinch. I intend for my pieces to invoke a similar sort of temptation."http://jasonbriggs.com/
