About
James Hudson is an artist making fictional work that combines original photography, text & collage.
Initially he photographed BMX & Skateboard culture & later became a commercial photographer. Drawn to literature, film photography’s unpredictability & how B&W images close typography & illustration’s visual gaps, he then developed an art practice. For his M.A. he extended Mary Wollstonecraft’s unfinished 1787 story ‘The Cave of Fancy’ into a photo-text novel.
He has received commissions from Ffotogallery & the Welsh Assembly, exhibited at the Format & Diffusion festivals, completed residencies for the Ashmolean Museum, The Dee Valley & Leadenhall Market in London. He is currently producing a project about migration, crypto-currency and our evolution into ‘digital' humans that has been funded by Arts Council Wales.
