Through his work, Jason is committed to art and action that seeks to deconstruct colonial worldviews and dismantle white supremacy culture.
He works closely and collaboratively with the people he photographs and films—including using various socially engaged methods—to produce stories that bring to life authentic narratives that recognize authorship and sovereignty in communities, engage supporters, decision-makers, and the public, and inform conversations toward positive social and environmental change.
New Work in Progress
WHAT IS FOUND THERE is a process-based project dynamically revealing new interpretations of Jason’s professional photography by considering it outside of an issue-driven, journalistic framework and combining it with images from a private “photo journal” reflecting personal experiences and daily observations over the same 20 years. The collages intuitively combine images made at different times, in different places, and with different intentions. Each polyptych allows the viewer newly-discovered insights and the opportunity to find their own truths independent of the expectations of why an image was made or what it should mean.
