"Into the Wilderness" Jet James -
Artist Location - YeppoonArtwork Category - Printmaking
BiographyJet James has a Diploma in Visual Communication from the Central Queensland Institute Tafe. He was awarded the 2008 Central Queensland Vocational Student of the year and state finalist through the National Training awards. James's recent achievements include, 2008 Youth Self Portrait Prize, short listed at the National Portrait gallery of Australia, 2008 Charles Ware Award- National Young Artist Award at the Rockhampton Regional Gallery.
Statement
This work evolved using the technique of collagraphy. There is an exploration in materials and a surface tension when layered in a spontaneous and intuitive manner. James provides a topographical interpretation of identity in a disposable society. The human form embodies the landscape, as the artist searches and maps out feelings from the subconscious, and in its manner the connection between land and consumerism are contemplated.
