Maker Profiles: Jason Wing
As part of Jason Wing's Spontaneous and Uncommissioned now on in William Street Window Gallery, ADC's Communications Producer Laura Wesolowski asked Jason three quick-fire questions to find out what inspires him as a designer maker.
What do you make?
"Everything I can get my hands on! The idea comes first then the materiality evolves to communicate the full artistic vision. If I don't know a material well I partner with experts in their industry.”

Why do you make what you make?
"Through my objects I often discuss issues not commonly discussed or issues that should be discussed, then actioned. I make to hold a mirror up to society and reflect, inspire and action change."

What inspires you?
"Everything inspires me, there are no limits. Others (artists, makers, designers and arts workers), "sedition", intangible forces, serpents, resilience, nature, spray cans, elements, my wife Maddison Wing, my cultures, equality, kindness, love."
