Jimmy Miracle
My purpose is to use the physicality of minimally altered forms to question perception and the nature of reality both on a personal and cultural level. I am after a kind of inept monumentality built from repetitious labor and craft with humble materials. Using the idioms of pop, minimalism, and conceptual art, I suggest spiritual narratives with ontological possibilities.
