Jamie Newton
Jamie has created solar and wind powered drawing machines which become kinetic sculptures when exposed to the sun and/or wind. The exhibition also includes a variety of media including sumi brush paintings.
"I remember what a thrill it was to first pick up a sumi brush. For me it was like opening your mouth and finding you can sing. All this thought, all this feeling, just flows out the end of your fingers. It's a way of tying all of your various thoughts and influences together, a kind of funnel that brings all of that thought down through the brush and onto the paper. You start feeling, when it's working right, like you are dancing. It's really wonderful. When it works your hands are not your own. You forget who you are. There is nothing but the work in front of you. It feels a tremendous act of ego to put your name on it."
