JAMES CHERRY

James Cherry, born in 1996 in Chicago, Illinois, received his BFA from Bard College in 2018. Cherry’s work examines the relationship between personal and public information through material manipulation, while primarily practicing within sculpture and drawing. Meditative and repetitive processes from the hand are used to both present and disguise intimate symbols of the human experience; transforming recycled and found objects to reveal and even give function to private truths.
James Cherry lives and works in Los Angeles.
