“My working process always begins with the idea of collage; of bringing disparate things together in such a way as to make something new, but also to keep hold of the sense of those fragments being very different…each with a life of its own.” James Richards employs a diverse range of easily accessible images – found and original footage – to explore the pleasure of the act of seeing. His films and recent sound works are sensual, affective, and deeply invested in the potentials of their medium.
