James Thornton: Works from a Studio Residency

18th October - 10th November 2019 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm

This collection of work brings together an indication to the progression of thoughts and outcomes from James’s time in residence at Bath Artists Studios. During this period James has been working through a practice in which he has had to adapt to circumstances new – leading to altered working methods and effects, many of which are in flux.

The influence of the landscape, in particular of childhood, has had a lasting impact upon James’s visual and audio practice – manifesting itself through a romantic sensibility whilst exploring notions of home, our sense of belonging and the societal expectations placed upon us within an increasingly technological society.
