Jason Nielsen is an accomplished filmmaker-turned-photographer whose evocative images aim to penetrate beyond the surface of things. His experiments with handmade papers and precious metals draw on Buddhist traditions that use gold to symbolize consciousness, wholeness and divinity.
Nielsen’s films and photographs have been presented at festivals and galleries around the globe, including The Foley Gallery (New York City), and The Laurent Gallery (Melbourne). Nielsen’s films are in the collections of the National Library and Archives of Canada.
