James Brunt Artist

James Brunt – Artist.

This is the artist who came into work with us on the practical application of this unit. The title is Cardboard City and this is what we did – built a cardboard city. He came into the session and introduced himself and showed a slide show of his work which included visual images he had created using natural resources such as sticks. He went round to each group and provided support and ideas and he only had one rule. This was each groups separate cardboard city had to link somehow (see blog week 2).

James Brunt works in nature media. He likes to create work that will soon have to be destroyed by the course of nature. He makes random art works in places such as the wood and leaves them for people to find (such as dog walkers). He works with sticks and leaves to create images, sometimes rocks. An example would be when he went to the beach and created a piece of work with rocks he found there.

He likes nice composition in photos as he always like to photograph his work afterwards so he can capture the moment.

He is working on the World War 1 Centenary project and he intends to use images of a soldiers faces to build a bigger image
