Artist statement
James Ward’s current work is informed by the experience of wakening up unable to breathe a result of a virus known as Croup. He was cured through the breathing in of steam and which lead him to experiment with this immaterial medium. The projection of both stills and video on to the steam leads to not only to a constantly changing performative image but the creation of a humid steam environment. The fleeting nature of these images and the ease at which they can be affected by subtle movements of invisible forces is one of its strengths creating much of the poetics of the work.
