Additional Info

The insurmountable weight of every little thing.

Calibrating tension and weight with finesse and fragility, Jason Waterhouse’s refined, playfully wrought sculptures are intricately molded hybrid forms which possess intriguing contradictions. Cast in bronze from natural materials, these finely detailed and seemingly delicate objects appear to suspend order, bending and crushing the solid supports and frames that hold their fine, sinuous forms. Other sculptures defy gravity, their heft appearing to float with unexpected levity. Throughout his practice, Waterhouse continuously explores the relationship between natural and manufactured object. This intentional play with perception and objectivity repeats itself throughout Waterhouse’s collection of meticulously crafted sculptures, a graceful mimicry achieved through an expert manipulation of form and materiality. The resulting works express these contradictions, inverted norms, and malleable qualities in a way that captures a sense of struggle and relief; a negotiation with tension and emotion that suggests itself subtly but profoundly in these stunning contemporary sculptures.
