(Repli) (Dupli) Cate is an exhibition of ceramic work, which is
concluded from my year long residency at Medalta’s Artist in Residency
program, in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
I look to make work that creates an effect on the individual person
rather than, at first, the community at large. For me, attracting the
individual is about finding a passion and creating a bond between maker
and user. Original work, purposeful ceramics and creating conversations
are the main points that I look to answer within my ceramic medium.
I
describe the process I have investigated while at Medalta, as “cut and
paste”. Utilizing technical aspects of ceramics, related to throwing on
the wheel, handbuilding and mold work. My aim is to create forms that
are different but that also relate to my self. This comes from
explorations of design and personal preference, but also from outside
sources such as graffiti, geometry, sociology and mass media (Tumblr)

JASON DESNOYERS BIO
Jason Desnoyers was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Jason earned a
BFA in the field of Photography from Concordia University and recently
completed his BFA in Ceramics at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
During his time at NSCAD, Jason was awarded the “FUNSCAD Homer Lord
Scholarship Award” in recognition of his ceramic work and his
dedication.
Jason’s process relies heavily on altering the clay model or the mold
itself, decorative patterns related to tessellation, and a strong ideal
based on functionality. He is currently focused on experimenting with
glazing techniques, slip casting and altering, and the perfection of his
mold making practice.
While expressing his own personal identity is important, Jason hopes
that his ceramic art creates an identity that communicates with others,
through the function and aesthetic of the piece. He measures the success
of his pieces through the utilitarian purpose and decorative allure.

I posted these images on instagram yesturday and received a bunch of questions so I thought I’d included them here today for technical tuesday. Basically what I’m trying to do is add more depth to my functional work, and rather then return to stamps that I had used in the past I wanted to incorporate something that had a less precise or “refined” look to it. A technique that could be used from dish to dish but with different variations complementing how my dishes have unique hand drawn images rather than decals. Stamps to me equate to the same rigid repeativeness of decals. Not that I’m against either, I’m just looking for a different quality for this body of work.
Anyhow what I’m doing in cutting designs into thin sheets of foam (bought at Micheals here in Canada). I like how I can push and pull the images, use them on flat or rounded surfaces, layer them and ideally my aim is to incorporate them more and more into my work. It’s a technique I’ve seen many other artists use. It’s definitely not my idea, but hopefully I can develop my own spin on it.
