Remnants and Relics work by Jason Stein, February 10 through April 17, 2023.
Tennessee Tech University, Appalachian Center for Craft, Lakeview Gallery
Jason Stein is inspired by the textures and forms of the geological structures and surfaces that occur, drawn to the subtleties found in such hard and unforgiving materials and landscapes. Stein highlights the juxtapositions and states of conflict and interplays between disparate elements. This chaotic and intense process of alchemy and creation gives birth to new forms. The result is finished works that speak to the visual and conceptual framework of control, hidden systems, and structures, manipulation, and transformation.
Jason Stein received a BFA in Metals and Jewelry Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008 and received MFA in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2010.
