Artist:
James Edwards (USA)
Title: pasadena
Title: pompeii
My work focuses on the enigmas created by location, behavior and memory. Illusory
terrain models constructed from Geographic Information Science, satellite
photographs, scanned objects and an empirical drawing process combine to create
a digital print with a complex, layered space. I do not intend to suggest
cause and effect relationships between these elements, or clichéd reminiscence,
but rather a controlled displacement of space, referring to the complexity
of social, political, and human issues.
Creating the Locations series requires the use of both PC and Macintosh operating
systems. Geographic data is located on the Internet and downloaded. ArcView,
a software program for translating statistical data into visual form, is used
to build, terrain models of landscapes. These are exported into PhotoShop,
combined with scanned objects, small drawings, and manipulated further. The
finished artworks form limited editions of archival prints that represent
a synthesis of science and art. Computer technology extends traditional areas
of art: drawing, collage and photomontage.

Title: A feeling_at one
I studied fashion/graphic design for two years and decided to combine the
two creative outlets. Also included in this combination are photography and
art. Currently I am running my own fashion label, supplying boutiques in New
South Wales and Queensland. Each piece of clothing, in each order, features
a different swing tag design. While studying, one of my graphic images was
printed and distributed throughout Australia from winning an Avant Card competition.
