I bel ieve my presence in the field as a working-class Black man\, striving and excelling in a field occupied chiefly by society’s most privileged (whit est)\, is a powerful artistic and political gesture. “—Jason McDonald \nGlass vessels evocative of the highly ornamented Baroque style\, black s ilhouettes embedded in scenes on ancient pottery vessels\, and medallion r eliefs of Black figures all abide in the deliberate\, expansive practice o f Jason McDonald. McDonald’s visual language is deeply rooted in researc h of ancient histories\, traditional techniques\, and race. Here\, contemp orary ideas blend and transform tradition with caring attention to detail\ , precision in thought\, and beauty. Motivated by glass—with its magical properties\, myriad possibilities and potential—McDonald’s devotion l ies in the desire to refine the craft\, making his hands more familiar and knowledgeable with each replication. Through his repetition and re-imagin ation of these historical forms\, the objects transform into sculptures an d vessels of time\, carrying with them the essence of centuries-old tradit ions\, as well as McDonald’s commitment and insertion of the representat ion and notions of Black identity. With a commitment to the craft that tra nscends his own work\, McDonald diligently carves out space for those who will follow him through mentoring and the creation of his own glass studio \, which he has named Ideal Conditions. \nOde to Diligence: The Art of Jas on McDonald is Jason McDonald’s first solo museum exhibition.
