Project Information:
James Robert Ford has stated that his works are concerned with “the morality of idiocy”. Projects and investigations based around observations, process and play. Crossing-over web/digital with the physical manifestation of the art and often involving the everyday, so as to tap-in to our collective memory/consciousness. He has used mucus, Teletext, home exercise and car number plates as sources of inspiration and material for constructing the works. Combining nostalgic/childhood visual references & ideas with humour, personal narrative and contemporary issues.
