Jason Kimes
*From constantly drawing during church to digging clay from creek beds to form small animals, the opportunity to create and be creative has always driven sculptor Jason Kimes. He said it was this natural inclination that led him to study art in school. After taking his first sculpture class in college, Kimes immediately selected sculpture as his preferred medium and went on to grad school at Southern Illinois for his Masters in Fine Art. In grad school, Kimes said he learned many ways of making sculpture from clay, plaster, wood and metal. After graduation, Kimes started to weld tiny pieces of metal into the molds in place of the cast metal. “I’ve been developing that basic process ever since, which has allowed me to create work on much larger scales than I’d be able to produce through casting,” Kimes noted.* [excerpt from centralsteelservice.com] "Born in Panama and raised in South Mississippi, I've been compelled to create from my earliest memory, from digging clay from creek beds to form small shapes to drawing on every piece of paper I came across." - Jason Kimes Jason Kimes completed a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Southern Mississippi and a MFA in Sculpture from Southern Illinois University in 2005. Since then he has completed multiple commissions and taken part in exhibitions across the US. His work is held in private and corporate collections.

- Hook Ups and Lay UpsBy Cal LaneLocated in Montreal, QuebecLaughter, discomfort, perplexity: these are all plausible reactions to the work by sculptor Cal Lane. The artist’s most recent body of work is an affective assemblage of incongruous parts that, taken together, violate our mental patterns and expectations. Charged with contradictions, metaphor, sexual undertones, and unsettling associations, Lane’s unlikely combinations use absurdity as a way of pointing to western society’s normalized habits and conventions, often with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. For the exhibition Try Me, Lane installs a basketball court in the gallery. The two basketball hoops on opposing walls are embellished with silver-coated frames and lustrous mirrors, which serve as decorative backboards. In place of nets, women’s black lace underwear delicately hang from hoops. A decorative rug stenciled with court lines performs as the court floor. It is a mise-en-scène set in motion by viewer’s reconciliation of the individual parts to the whole, and to their original function. Panties regard themselves in the mirror or perhaps measure up their opponent, which, not without irony, is the mirror image of itself. Themes of gender and sexuality are performed and imagined in the upward voyeuristic gaze of the viewer and the expected swoosh of the ball into the net. This is further elaborated by phallic impressions formed by court lines and their likeness to a work of modernist abstraction—a movement wrought by notions of masculinity. The decorative rug’s connection to femininity and domesticity juxtaposes the rigid geometry. Lane further explores the historical gendering of technology, industry, and war in her series of wallpaper drawings, which depict war submarines on cloud patterned wallpaper. The innocence of the submarine in popular culture and its reality as a phallic war object...Category
