Jason Villegas's work expresses human desire through naive representations of man, machine, microbiology, cosmology and merchandise. He subverts fashion logos, animals, nudes and weaponry to create humorous and absurd engagements. Reconstructed clothing, cardboard, found objects and fragments from our throw away society meld to create site-specific configurations, and wearable art.
