Transitions

Jason Sims 2010

In the ‘Transition’ series, Adelaide born artist Jason Sims explores the space between reality and illusion. Known for his sculptural constructions and installations with light, mirrors and glass, Sims explores the visual impact and conceptual richnesss of working with reflection and optics. Influenced by the words of French existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre: “Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself”. Sims notes that with these three materials, “I’m able to reflect a real space upon itself, creating an illusion of depth, and suggesting that the actions we take in the present ultimately determine our future.”
