Little is written about the sculptor Jason Kimes. However, in 2014, Christina Austin was able to interview him. Among her questions:
Where have you displayed public art? Why are these places good ones for public art?
I’ve displayed work in traditional settings such as university campuses and in municipal downtown settings where sidewalk traffic comes into close contact with the sculpture and transportation depots. … I very much like the sidewalk and terminal entrance sites because the work is so directly approachable by the public, providing for very intimate and sometimes funny interactions.
