Chase's unique approach affirms the significance of narrative in our understanding of identity and art.
"Downpour is something that happens, suddenly, fast and very unexpectedly," Jonathan Lyndon Chase says. "I see this very much as how the concept of change or transformation behaves in our daily lives."
