 James Harcourt                                             Pseudo-artefacts

    ...creates genre-fluid artwork having a  broad range of  disciplines that reinforce values of reciprocity in our alliance with environment.
Dwelling in an Age-of-Answers overusing technology we demand instant knowledge appearing to abandon our World-of-Wonder. 
              Hey Siri what's the weather?
              Hey Alexa what's the minimum amount of blue I add to red 
and get purple?
              When does a lightbulb become an elephant 
and how many people does it take to
              change the elephant in the room...?


    We've conditioned ourselves to think knowledge is power yet an ability to question is where true power lies.
  
People have carved, painted, scratched, woven, sculpted, searched for far longer than memory reaches.
Without question we've been moved by what we've seen and heard throughout millennia.
We've used our observations to build communities with resilient culture and developed vibrant communication to link our experiences.

​Expression guides us, infuses us with adaptability.
Art is a navigational tool.

'I like to spend time in nature'  paradoxically implies we are able to leave.
Nature isn't simply outside; it comprises us.
