#135 The Very Personal Landscapes of Jason Pettit

Jason Pettit, “Winter Marsh” (2020)

Jason Pettit, “Pieces of Lake” (2022)

Jason Pettit, Adrift Amongst the Stars (2021) “The border seasons are very fascinating to me. It's neither Autumn nor Winter, and the landscape shows us some unique circumstances. Case in point; recently fallen Oak leaves hang suspended in clear ice on the edge of a small pond. Meanwhile, an early winter snow squall dusts the icy surface.”



Jason Pettit, “Borderland” (2021)

Jason Pettit, “Forest Frequency” (2022)

I’m an artist working in the photographic medium residing in, and inspired by my home, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.

My photography is a direct extension and reflection of my own life experience. I strive to create an emotional equivalence between the human experience, and nature's subtleties and splendours.

Through my work I want to convey a simple and powerful message - there is more to nature than what is viewed on the surface. We can discover deep metaphors that are mirrors into ourselves, as well as conduits to a deeper understanding of the world around us.
