James Randell
James is an artist and educator and now Fellow in relief and intaglio processes at Bainbridge Print Studios. He also works with Bow Arts and Hart Club as a freelance gallery technician and curator. James studied a BA in Fine Art at the University of Leeds and University of California Berkeley. Back in London, James trained at London Print Studio and Artichoke Print Workshop and learnt more about the radical history of printmaking at Print Quarterly. He is looking forward to using his time at Bainbridge Print to share his skills, support other printmakers and refine his own work in print.
'My work concerns historical structures, and the many ways in which narratives are written, re-written and unwritten. I use found materials and push them through destructive and reductive processes in printmaking, object-making and text. What remains are ambiguous but coherent worlds, loose stories to be pieced together post-apocalypse. For extra-terrestrial visitors to a world after human history, which will have come first, the egg or the Kinder egg?'
