Jim Shores brings life to discarded objects by transforming them into imaginative sculptures & assemblages.
Broken tools, obsolete machinery, aluminum cans, and metal signs are some of his basic materials. Old sewing machines and radiators are a virtual goldmine. Jim is an expert junkyard picker.Fond of faces & fishes, Jim tends to see them everywhere and he recreates them in the most unlikely places. Space ships and extraterrestrials also frequently appear, and spend time with angels of all kinds. His garden of yard art and bottle trees is legendary, but Jim generally keeps to himself. Although reluctant to be photographed, as you can see, Jim stands behind his art.Jim Shores
