In the series To/From, the most frantic of daily activities, that of parcel deliveries, is slowed. The ubiquitous Ford Transit or ‘white van’ is photographed in close up to make a mini-typology of the patterns created on the van doors. Here, every mark, scratch and smear is recorded and compared offering a joyful analysis of these mini histories. Temporary abstractions captured and in all likelihood never seen again.

James is a photographer and book maker who has exhibited at many events since 2011, he is one half of Highchair Editions, a self publishing project run in collaboration with his brother. Work is held in several collections including MoMA, MACBA and the Tate Library.
