Persistence is an imagined portrait by Jason Andrew Turner that was created in collaboration with women at the Lutheran Settlement House in 2019. The portrait does not portray an existing person in the present – but rather one deeply inspired by the oral history of long time community members and the history of Lutheran Settlement House. LSH was started in 1902 by women in service to women and families through social, advocacy, and educational services. Sponsors by The City of Philadelphia, Elk Management, Fishtown Co. and Curated by Ryan Strand Greenberg.

Wescover creator since 2019
I use the tools of drawing and painting to explore the concepts of time, landscape, and shared consciousness. I create obsessive compulsive environments from my own experience, referencing the self-examination of post expressionist painting alongside the modern information age. The work utilizes steady, and rhythmic and repetitive gestures contrasted with careful color associations to allow the viewer to navigate and attribute personal meaning; as if building a vast space for the participants to exist in the form a shared story. The works focus is contrasted between the concrete and the ethereal questions that determine our existence and connectivity, by balancing memory and experience through the lens of meditation and imagination. There is a visual detachment between the participants in the narrative and the mechanically produced marks. The artworks serve as a mirror for the viewer to slip into an entangled consciousness; a shared mysticism of space and form.
