Artist Statement
Thyme James is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, printmaking, and performance. Fascinated by the tactile nature of these mediums, using them to capture every instance of human interaction within the work and the human form, using the body as subject, tool, and medium. Thyme’s current interest lies in the human condition, social interaction, and connectivity. Playing with colour, mark-making, and repeated imagery, Thyme explores the importance of human relationships, drawing on lived experience, memory, and found imagery, with the intention of invoking a sense of security, hope, and relief after troubling times.
Originally from Cornwall, Thyme graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2019 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting and Printmaking, having also attended the Academy of Fine Art Vienna on an Erasmus+ Scholarship in 2016-17. In 2019 she received the New Graduate Award from the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and was shortlisted for the Scottish Drawing Competition 2021. 2022 saw Thyme receive a grant from The Hope Scott Trust providing her with the support to reintegrate traditional painting into her practice and produce a new body of work for her first major solo exhibition "Forever, and a Day".
