The Schism

"The color of the wire in the process is a projector behind the wire sculpture casting different color light that is reflected in the wire figurative. TH choices made with different colours of connection to different moods and feeling such example is purple being a passionate, loving depiction and to me reflects humanitarian issues. The vibrant colours even give a sort of lift to the figurative-looking wire sculptures as these unique, shaped, distorted creatures in various ones being mythical, more ing like moths and insects and even shaped into a humanoid. They can be depicted as metamorphosis and change. Metamorphosis is when a creature in its life forms a transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages which is like how I have been using wire in staging and process."

In the artist’s work, they delve into the intricate terrain of mental health, employing mixed media as their artistic language to convey the profound and often elusive aspects of this universal human experience.

The creations serve as a visual narrative, weaving together the threads of emotion, process, technique, and mystery, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities that lie beneath the surface of our minds. The use of mixed media in their art allows James Mellor to channel the multifaceted nature of mental health. It reflects on the diverse and often fragmented elements of our psychological landscape. Just as the human psyche is an intricate interplay of thoughts, emotions, memories, and external influences, their artistic process incorporates an array of materials, textures, and techniques that seek to mirror the layering of emotions and experiences that shape our mental well-being.

"The works are depictions of vibrant light shaping a figurative mystery form. The light could be interpreted as a light source guiding to a specific purpose and can be represented as good and bad as the unknown can attract a participant by admiring or attracting from the light vibrant colors.

The figure is shaped to be answered whether good or bad the background is a shade of blackness void that gives a sense of beauty to the light source and yet gives shiver horror imagery is dark and the nothingness that can reflect on dreams and nightmare vision not knowing what it could be as visualize as a glimpse An abstract wire figure depiction of me as an artist and identity based on mental health. Seen a mysterious with dark and good thoughts. Clouded in the dark void but being the light, of not giving up on people and staying focused on the good all the time despite being a challenged and obstacle in the way. Easy to be consumed by bad thoughts and be a bad person. It is represented in this art piece and my other work shrouded in darkness but being the only light source and you. Modern-day art Visual depict and summarizes in color and light we all should aspire to help others and be better than the bad in our world to protect the innocent and inspire the new generation in a spiritual image and identity."
