JAMES LEE MEAD

MY work REACHES ACROSS many mediums & SPATIAL FIELDS, ALL ENCOMPASSED within

HEALING ARTS.

 

i believe THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION WE CAN PROCESS, TRANSFORM, & TRANSCEND Our EXPERIENCES.

​​

THIS PORTFOLIO Explores varying, sometimes mixed, MEDIUMS including PHOTOGRAPHY, ILLUSTRATION, JEWELRY, MOVEMENT, & sound.

 

I am often inclined to keep learning, to push further, to find new means of expression. 

​

i move through phases of creativity exploring different tools & materials, often working in waves with a specific resonating medium..

 

i try to tune into when and where somatic energy feels either flowing or caught in my body. changing the medium allows me to find new paths to the other side of that which desires release.

​

at times, drawing or painting gives the best translation of a feeling, sometimes a camera is the perfect tool to frame an experience, & at times the physicality of hammering metal, moving my body, or creating sound waves gives way to the form I'm seeking.

 

art making is an entirely cathartic experience,

i hope that through sharing my work the viewer may be inspired to find their own preferred method of release.

 

EACH MEDIUM ACTS as a portal through which an investigation & dissection of my & Your perception can be examined.

​

Nature is among my most powerful & constant inspirations, ever ephemeral.

nature is good medicine for finding balance.

 

In the presence of a towering forest or the rhythmic ebb of lakes & oceans i am reminded the CYCLES of life, growth, decay, & renewal to which we are intrinsically connected.

​

MY WORK IN MOVEMENT & MEDITATIVE arts GIVES ME A CONTAINER TO LEAD FROM INTUITION & SHARE MY LEARNED UNDERSTANDING OF THE BODY, with all OUR FUNCTIONAL & DYSFUNCTIONAL PATTERNS.

 

as an instructor, MY INTENTION IS TO GUIDE PEOPLE INTO A CLEARER CONNECTION WITH THEIR BREATH & BODY, TO A CALMER STATE WITHIN THEIR NERVOUS SYSTEM, LEARNING TO SELF REGULATE & REFLECT ON OUR HABITUAL NATURE, to REWRITE OUTDATED PATTERNS SO WE MAY MOVE FROM OUR MOST GROUNDED STATE.

​​

outside of my work in the arts, I am most often in the garden, woods, or water with my pup or foraging wild ingredients for a Door County Underground farm dinner.
