About the author....
James Antonson's visual vocabulary primarily deals with water, sky, rocks and trees. His images can be seductive, capturing moments of pure tranquility, with a number of them harking back to the watery scenes of his childhood in Michigan and Minnesota.
As a photographer he shoots the world around him almost daily, for reference, for ideas, capturing what he call "time's never ending melt."
These drawings were inspired by necessary items we never think about. Like wine glasses and knives. Familiar and banal, they can be fun things to draw. Also, it’s hard not to be shaken by our energy crisis. Maybe in the future we’ll all have a personal gas can/energy account to look after.
