Jason Waterhouse takes everyday objects and subjects them to distortion and mutation, exposing inner truths in propositional acts.
Sticks and Bones delivers a new body of work and new line of inquiry. Natural forms and objects, collected from the artist’s home, are expanded in facets and fractals. Growth and hybridisation battle it out as natives merge with introduced species and the remnants of death break from nature and subsume geometry.
