A portrait of a man on a backdrop of honeycomb and bee nests. / " I create to find meaning for myself and to connect with others through these expressions. Since a young age, I have attempted to navigated the world by exploring my ideas and emotions, translating them onto paper. I've always been drawing towards the tactile experience and immediacy of drawing, using a tool to make a mark, have always fascinated me. I love the profound impact that a simple mark can have. My intention is to use art making tools not only to leave a visible mark on a surface but also to evoke a lasting impression upon the viewer below the surface. It's all about connecting, the art-making process is a journey between two people, an intimate exchange of emotions and thoughts. Art serves as a bridge that connects me to others." -Statement from sitter, James Rees. |
