James Coombes
The Papayas
Resident artist
James is a printmaking artist whose artistic practice explores the complexities of Queer identity, sexuality, and censorship of the human form. His creative aims are to showcase the queer community in a celebratory light, and to challenge social norms.
“My interest in printmaking, specifically silk screen printing and linocut, allows me to fully actualise my artworks using a variety of traditional mediums. I also utilise digital design software which allows me to explore the relationship between traditional and modern printmaking techniques.”
