' ..................................when Mary took time away from the go round, she was able to see something ..... that she might not have seen..... at a glance
when Mary was able to have this time she felt fortunate
Mary experienced something ..... that she might not have..... at a glance
in leaving
she returned to her experience, and.....spent some time.
in returning
............... to her experience she was able to experience .......something that she might not have if she had not
returned
in reflecting
............on her experience, she saw something she might not have experienced, if she had not
returned
....and when Mary returned again, she was able to go around again. '
....if we consider our view. The complexity of how it emerges, what informs it and how we have come to accept the interpretation of our experiences and how this is involved ; then we may also find that we are considering our creative process...
..."James Reed's work somehow dissolves the boundaries between form, content, concept, medium, process/product and all those intellectual constructs we bring to bear upon art in attempting to explain art. It's as if there's an artistic alchemy at work (or perhaps at play) through which his creative intelligence materialises. And it's precisely this visible yet tactile residue/matter, sensitive chaos and un-literalness of his process which incarnates, leaving behind these aesthetic memories. Congratulations James Reed!"... Vivian Van Der Merwe
