James Talbot (b.1996) is an artist living and working in Utah.
His work deals with themes of place, memory, and objecthood. Usually searching for innocuous and discrete subject matter, Talbot works with lens-based and textual elements to mythologize places of personal significance, with recent work exploring the photograph’s metaphysical relationship to the physical objects it depicts. Through small visual details of colors, shadows, and other motifs, he hopes to capture a numinous spirit that contributes to a collective memory of those places.
