Jason Andrew Turner’s work explores movement through minimal mark making
and texture with hints to cultural history and abstraction. By using the standardized
point of a mechanical pencil, he forcibly limits deviation from the prescribed purpose
of the tool; this allows him to construct environments or situations in the simplest
of terms. This notion of process instills meaning and beauty into the work and the
resulting images are peculiar, graphic and bold. These works on paper are reliant on
personal experience, cultural ancestry, and craft tradition as well as their relation to
the visual culture of line and symbol.
