Artists statement

Jason Sims is an Australian artist whose practice embodies a fresh perspective on light-based, multi-media artworks. Sims graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from the University of South Australia in 2006 and has since exhibited across Australia as well as in Hong Kong, the UK and the USA.

Jason Sims primarily makes freestanding sculptures, wall-based works and large-scale installations. Interested in art’s capacity to challenge and extend viewers’ perception, he uses mirror, reflective glass and coloured lights to create three-dimensional works with kaleidoscopic interiors that appear to extend into infinity. He has said of his practice that he is ‘interested in creating work that serves as a vehicle to re-imagine the space encountered – to deconstruct perceived physical limitations – and facilitate a kind of meditative response allowing viewers to interpret the illusion of space created as reality.’
