Everything will be OK — Jason Kofke

For five years, “Everything will be OK” was the title of all Jason Kofke’s works. He wrote these words across train cars, construction sites, and sidewalks.

Each layer hand drawn with an etching needle onto a copper plate, which was then bathed in a ferric chloride mordant in stages to create various widths and densities of line.

Jason Kofke

Jason Kofke understands a culture through images of what has been abandoned, discarded, or abrogated. He uses art as salvage ethnography to attribute meaning to events and artifacts of the past. His projects empathize with communal historical experiences and attempt to make sense of the present through a re-exploration of a common history.
