Lapse Grasp: Jason Hackett at Brightpoint Community College

by Sam Taylor | Mar 14, 2023

Lapse Grasp, a solo exhibition containing six recent works from artist Jason Hackett, opens up a richly allusive space to consider the spiritual output of human hands–the grounded piety baked into the act of making along a full spectrum of labors.
