Each Day Passes And I’m Closer To You, 2022, Steel wire, mixed media, 46”x32”x10“
JAMES PATERSON
James Paterson has built these ambiguous machine-like objects out of steel rod and wire. He does
this by twisting the wire together to create the structures, occasionally welding heavier support
components, then infusing the emerging shapes with splashes of color. Paterson often incorporates
interactive moving elements by which the viewer can become a participant when turning a crank
handle to experience the art piece coming to life with movement and whirling rhythms that entice
your eyes, brighten your face and quicken your senses.
