JAMIE BANES
Artist Statement
My attraction to the energy of urban areas inspires a playful,
excited examination of the frenzied systems around me.
Highly active environments such as ports, stations, airfields,
or sub-street infrastructures feel like childhood experiments
with Tinkertoys and Lego bricks,
or voyages into Richard Scarry's seemingly chaotic worlds.
I’ve been exploring my awareness of these arrangements
and my position within them, making
associations with anatomy and physicality, and allowing
myself the opportunity to revisit a youthful mindset
that seems more and more fleeting.
