artist statement |
|
Jason Wee's practice pulls complex narratives out of specific events and
spaces, generating an array of different, sometimes conflicting objects and
ways of knowing. These spaces may be an island, a school, cinema, museum or home, and the events may be a moment of personal or collective history. For him, these narratives are knotty conundrums, generative of enigma, idealism and failure. |
