Morphic Fields is the title of a series of twenty-one amorphous bronze sculptures with limestone bases— works created from cardboard boxes dipped in and shaped with wax and subsequently cast in bronze.
This first monograph on Anthony James includes a number of offbeat essays on the artist’s work.
Fashion and art critic Glenn O’Brien provided sharp-witted insights, and writer Christian Kracht added his typically sardonic commentary.
An interview with controversial biologist Rupert Sheldrake was a highly fitting contribution; his theory of morphic fields inspired the artist’s work and the title of this publication.
Other text contributions include a piece by: Matthias Mühling.
The book was printed in Germany and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag.
