For the past decade, Jason has made paintings of Austin’s residential bulk trash as part of an ongoing series titled ‘Discard Piles’. A few hours each week he drives the city’s neighborhood streets searching for the crème de la crème of trash piles. They are documented photographically, exactly as found without alteration to their arrangement. Back in his studio, select piles are intricately painted using water-thinned acrylics against empty white backgrounds. Collectively and individually, these paintings hold open space for contemplating the unknown stories of other people’s lives; the power and seeming necessity of purging; the environmental impact of disposable culture; and the uncanny beauty of dereliction.
