War on Art

  « Jason Lee Glass

(Political Pipe Art)

War on Art This piece was a response to Ashcroft's "operation pipedreams" and its dramatic effect on our culture.
The camoflauge and barb-wire chamber represents the underground nature of our scene.
The black helicopter is the "man" flying in to limit our freedoms and attempt to disrupt our peacefull way of life.
Their missiles of fascism find their way in but the explosions sparkle with dichro rather than burn.
Finally, the sword pommel stem is a reference to the Sword in the Stone of king Arthur. Which of us will rise to slay the beast and lead us to new horizons?
With all the distibutors shutting down and having no contacts to sell my work, I made this piece out of despair. I put two weeks into it and $300 into postcards of it at a time when it was hard to eat.
It sold when nothing else would for me, and it launched a rebirth in my work.

P.S. This is the only pic i have of this piece. If the owner could hook me up with nice pics, i would kick down something nice.

My name is Jason Lee and I have been working in borosilicate since 1994.

I live in Eugene, Oregon and work with Living Glassworks.
I love this medium and see myself lost in it for the rest of my life.

Thanks for checking out my stuff!

my non-pipe art can be viewed on GlassArtists.org at: http://www.glassartists.org/Gal11709_Jason_Lee.asp
