Video Art appeals on many different levels and can draw a crowd when projected at live events. Early last Autumn Jimmy curated a moving image party at the Berwick Film Festival Fringe w/ help from the talented Andy McGregor. He beamed his motion art, strewn w/ Jimmy’s own digitised artworks, directly onto a whitewashed courtyard wall. The [BYOB] event ran late into the night when festival attendees had gathered to party to a neuro hop soundtrack.
On return to Edinburgh in 2015, Jimmy directed a collaborative mixed media show called Wave after Wave. It was here at the Whitespace gallery that the artworks were noticed by video artist Roddy McNeil who collectively w/ Shaun Taylor goes by the name Second Space. A collaboration enabled the two video artists to remix Jimmy’s exhibition artworks for projection at Second Space events where literary themes merge w/ modern trends to create a new frontier in the Visual Arts.
A landscape that shows Grangemouth consumed by the wilderness in a future when Scotland no longer relies on fossil fuels. My new body of work explores abandonment, in the same way that ancient Mayan settlements were eventually reclaimed by the rainforest, and the deindustrialisation that caused Detroit’s urban decay, only in a Northern setting.
