James P Graham

I have been working full time as a multimedia artist for fifteen years working principally in film, photography, drawing and sculpture. I am auto-didactic. My artistic formation progressed from commercial photography into freeform filmmaking from 1986 until 2004.
Mainly using landscape and nature, my work explores and often references the now disused term ‘scientia sacra’, imbuing chosen locations and objects with a metaphysical and ontological significance whilst pursuing an interest in unusual energetic fields. The results can be enticingly intangible, and in some cases, totally immersive. There are two important factors fundamental to my work. First, ‘intuition’ – the catalyst behind the creation of every artwork, and second, ‘resonance’– the result of the work as expressed through the viewer..
