Personal Brief

I'm James, or Spencer, depending on who you are. I'm an actor, performer, and lover of life. I like creating things that have never before occured in such a way. Spontaneity completes me.

Artists on your radar, shout them out!

- Pretty much anyting that goes up at The Son Gallery in Peckham but particularly Guy Gormley, Alex Shepherd and Tim Smyth work - have a butchers. 

 

- There is some really cool illustrative work coming out of collectives such as Panther Club and Technicolour Moon as well, the kind of stuff that dreams shouldn't be made of ;)

 

- Perhaps one of my favourite artists has to be Juan Munoz - his work rocks it with its coxis!

Which is your number one location - and what's it best for?

Battersea Arts Centre - for expanding one's mind.

Brick Lane - for destroying one's liver.

Belgo's - for one's beer and mussels.

'Getting creative', what's it all about?

discussing

 

interpreting

 

doing

Your Life, Right Now - what's the soundtrack?

Fink, Alyusha, Josh Arcoleo, Aloe Blacc, Trombone Shorty, and The Boxettes!

What is your idea of a jolly good time?

My sweetheart first and foremost,

My friends and no doubt folly,

Beer, beats and breaks,

Whisky, wine, and cake,

And a Mad Hatter to keep me jolly.

What happened the last time you were a complete disgrace?

I'm sure I don't know what you mean!
