Jon Southam


He looks to use a text or texts that resonate with his current thinking, as a catalyst for practice, a way to directly link his research and practice, a natural progression by means of response. This gap is bridged directly; the work seeks to respond to the text through the practice. The artists practice in this sense is a means of opening dialogue both with the text and with the audience. he seeks to create work that is in dialogue with its influences as well as its viewers.
