Dr James Bowen is a teacher and practice-based researcher of Fine Art specialising in Drawing in the Expanded Field. James is an active member of the Drawing Research Group at Â鶹ֱ²¥ University.
In 2023, James Bowen completed his PhD at Â鶹ֱ²¥ University titled 'Voice as a Tool for Drawing'. Through this research James explored a series of vocalisation acts through a range of technologies and environments. This research was underpinned by a hypothesis that by investigating voice as a drawing tool the ambiguity inherent in drawing could be problematised further through the instability and potential of voice in its contingent non-graphic traces. Through his ongoing research, James continues to investigate the intersection of drawing and sound.
