Jim Lockey is a contemporary artist making live art, this includes performance, interactive and multidisciplinary work. Jim has exploring other disciplines and will be exhibiting sculptural works for the festival. Jim’s work is concerned with themes of belief, ritual, and folkloric storytelling. When not making art Jim is interested in Old English literature, enjoys being outdoors, and taking photos using an old game boy.

Jim’s show at Steep Street consists of children’s toys modified to become a sculptural installation. Plastic play objects, once loved- then treated as trash have been re-contextualised into devotional objects for an imaginary set of beliefs.
