James' work begins with photography, usually of found surfaces and objects where the focus is on non-deliberate mark making and processes that create a visual effect without aesthetic consideration. Unconscious traces of previous activity. The subject is the seen and the unseen, the visible and the ‘invisible’, what we (choose to) see and how it is presented to us. By reframing and re-presenting the results of these processes through print the focus of our attention is drawn to the beauty of the accidental and things just as they are. His latest print series 'Untitled 1-16' are photographed at a location near his studio, found surfaces represented in print. Taking influence from Antoni Tapies whose ‘political and rebellious attitude sought to give value to materials, objects and images traditionally despised by society.’ Trained in fine art at Edinburgh College of Art in the 90's he is now a self taught printmaker, photographer and maker of artists books. His work has been shown at print exhibitions and numerous book fairs since 2012.
