Jim Hodges Phaidon Book

Jim Hodges is an artist who addresses issues such as memory, love and existential struggles through a multifaceted practice that includes photography, screen printing and sculpture. His use of found materials including rocks and denim, coupled with the adoption of transitory shapes like spiderwebs, speaks of a personal experience that resonates on a collective level filtered through elements available in nature. Mysterious, beautiful, poetic and conceptually deep, Hodges's work has the rare quality of being simultaneously thought-provoking and visually beautiful.
