(The images below were captured during the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.)
I’ve been spending a lot of time during this pandemic reflecting on my work and trying to find ways of reinforcing my creative well. I’ve been walking around my neighborhood a lot (frequently in the rain) as a way of working through the changes I'm seeing in myself, as well as the changes affecting the state of the world at large. In the following series, you’ll see me experimenting with tools and ideas that are incredibly new to me. In many of these photographs, I’m taking fundamental risks with the way I produce my work and how I present myself. The subjects in these photos caught my eye and broke up periods of deep, meandering self-reflection and that is an incredibly important part of my process.
I hope you enjoy these photos so that maybe they’ll help you with your own inner processing during these strange times.
All the best,
James
