James Brooks
Brooks established his reputation with a series of three-dimensional drawings in which he treated game-objects – Rubik Cube, football, tennis ball, cricket ball, baseball, shuttlecock – to a thin layer of gesso and drew tiny circular marks on this white surface in graduated pencil. He extended his drawing-technique to a group of work made through the punching of graduated dots in paper, a process of removal rather than addition.
He currently utilises screen and paper-based media sources, of varying cultural status, as starting points to make works within drawing, print, audio and video. His practice implements a variety of slight to laborious interventions as a means to realise esoteric manipulations of the original source material. This artistic activity is an attempt to explore the position and reception of data/ information/ imagery within society.
