James J. Nestor

Through my hand and eye I investigate space and material as it relates to the human body in non-corporeal forms. The non-corporeality allows me to exploit my personal emotion with the security of not being publicly exposed. This is a investigation of emotion, emotions that one feels for another, emotions that one feel when they are alone, emotions that no one is really ever supposed to know.
Allowing a voyeurs view in the subconscious of their own mind. My work engages the viewer head on drawing them beyond the dimension of the work. Allowing s/he to create a personal dialogue within the images and shadows created by the piece. With emotion always comes motion, of mind body or object.
I do this by using materials that are emotionless such as plaster, steel, rubber, and plastic. They carry little to no emotional value. Industrial materials that have been appropriated to form structures, skin, and bodies. Two dimensionally through photographs that are strictly editorial, quick, unedited and documentarian in their nature. Each movement whether in 3 dimensional form to 2 dimensional form is quick, deliberate, and uninhibited. James J.Nestor
