‘KIN’
James Robert

James’s work is an expression of wildness, sometimes almost imperceptible, sometimes miraculous, always in a process of transformation. Birds and mammals are his main focus as they are ever-present but ever-fleeting. Their shapes are the epitome of wildness. They are also our close and distant kin. 

James works on paper using a wet process with ink and salt, a technique which allows for maximum simplicity and spontaneity, letting the pigment move freely with unpredictable textures and flows. The result is a sense of movement, a wild dance created using the smallest footprint –  just a few drops of ink and water.
