JAMIE MILLS

ABOUT :

Jamie Mills is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in West Cornwall, UK. His practice is underpinned by an investigation into the dissemination of gesture between materiality and environments, referencing both the internal and the external. The work is about memory, relationships, connection and the very act of making itself. The principal working materials within his largely monochromatic vocabulary, are often sourced and repurposed from natural environments or borderlands and include salvaged remnants of fabrics, natural pigments, as well as inorganic matter that functions as a counterpoint to the organic. Pared down relationships between material narratives and process serve as allegory to psychological or emotional states; often surrounding memory, grief, and an exploration into the embodiment of these processes on a personal and universal level. These concerns facilitate a distillation of form that exists at a threshold between the abstract and the concrete, reflecting a space in which a minutia of gesture and a humility of material can communicate vital expressions of intimacy and connection. His images, assemblages and intuitively composed sound works can be viewed as markers to a series of internal journeys or rituals informed by a poetic dialogue between material, form, environment, and personal histories. Jamie has collaborated with both UK, and Internationally based artists and filmmakers, and has work held in public and private collections within the UK, Europe and the USA.
