"I always found myself most excited, or most interested when I felt like I had discovered something. That's what always did it for me," Nick Jaskey explained as he pointed to one of his giant wooden red circles peeking through a patch of trees on the side of the road. For Jaskey, photography has always been a tool of continual discovery, an integral part of his artistic practice. Many of the images he shoots of things he sees on the streets, become an inspiration for his paintings and collages, some of which find their way back onto the streets themselves. This communication and exchange with public space extend to us as well, to anybody admiring the details he captures in his photos. The details Jaskey discovers and relays open our eyes anew to our environment, and even to a stranger, walking down the street wondering why strange wavy red circles are appearing on buildings around town and in the woods down the street.
