Bio:
J.Damron lives and works in the high desert and the Sierra Nevada. He finished his graduate studies in the New Genres Department at the San Francisco Art Institute in May of 1998.
Currently J.Damron holds an assistant professorship at Sierra Nevada College at Lake Tahoe, a private liberal arts college. His work has been shown in galleries nationally.
What J.Damron says about this project:
Recently I have been considering the difference between a monster and a giant, the potential that lies between, the difficulty in the difference between chocolate and honey. My work has also been occupying a ground between personal ritual and play.
The objects, images and performance are not necessarily at the service of metaphor, and I can’t seem to abandon beauty in the presence of concept.
