About
Jamie is an artist working across different art-forms including sound, moving image, photography, installation and printmaking. His hybrid practice is rooted in the history and context of site and questions how places are constructed by the interaction of found objects and text, bodies and the architecture that contains them. Jamie’s research draws on personal and familial histories, foregrounding inherited objects and materials. When presented as installations his works address the audience directly sometimes through the use of open-source, interactive technologies. Jamie’s work also uses socially-engaged elements and in the past has included printmaking workshops, Arduino sensor workshops and field-recording trips, working across issues of public space, human networks and social climate science.
Selected projects include We are All Lichens Now (2025), an exhibition with Emily Stapleton- Jefferis that explored humanity’s relationship with the more-than-human world, produced by The Feminist Lecture Programme. Tusheti Loops (2024) was an Audio/Visual piece responding to the social and natural rhythms of the Tusheti people and landscape, made during a Visual Arts South West funded residency in Georgia. A Forest of Things (2023) was a workshop series, exhibition and RISO print publication exploring the use of sensors in art while exploring the interconnectedness of natural and human networks. Printing the Space (2022) was a residency and socially engaged project in Bristol City Hall, where visitors were created monoprints while dwelling on the question ‘What does a space need?’
