Artist bio: Jason Rood [the basics]-> born 1985 Muskegon MI, BFA in Illustration from Grand Valley State University 2008, Currently resides in Grand Rapids MI.
Artist statement: The moments in time, no matter how black and white we view them to be, do not exist in isolation. As easy and neat as it is for us to place events as separate entities. Each of these moments have reaching consequences, some good some bad, that extend and expand out from a point in time to have a greater impact. In fact they lead to a string of moments. That in turn lead to a mess of intertwined narratives that are constantly intersecting and bumping into each other. Drawing for me, serves as a catalog or documentation of the tiny moments and narratives that are eventually strung together to make a larger picture. The pieces don't always fit neatly together nor do they always make sense, but that to me seems to be a more real a narrative then anything else I can conceive.
