Horizontal Striation Scrap Lamp and Vertical Striation Scrap Lamp

2009 - Sculpture (Sculpture)

35.25H x 4.25W inches

Jason Meadows

year born: 1972
gender: male
nationality: American
home town: Indianapolis, Indiana

The Striation Scrap Lamps (vertical and horizontal) although functioning as utilitarian objects also represent Jason Meadows’s interest in a certain kind of crafted sculpture. In fact, one could go as far as to say that these pieces connect with different lines running through the 101 collection: they combine both the appropriation of found materials that responds to a very common practice in certain forms of West Coast avant-garde with an interest in the intersection of art and design (something that is present to a certain extent in more slick, design-oriented pieces such as Chadwick Rantanen’s Telescopic Poles for example).


The Los Angeles–based artist Jason Meadows uses found and manufactured objects to craft idiosyncratic assemblages. Though smart and studied, his constructions are hardly academic. Rich in character development, narrative, and humor, they suggest a position of critical kinship with comics, cartoons, and Hollywood films.
