On this episode of Why Make we talk with James McNabb a woodworker and artist who grew up in Montville, NJ overlooking New York City. James grew up in a family that was very supportive of his creative endeavors, his mother being a teacher and father a carpenter.
Early experiences taking woodworking classes in middle and high school led him to pursue his undergrad in woodworking, at the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It was as a graduate student at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, that James discovered the processes and ideas that continue to inform the main body of his work.
James currently resides in Philadelphia, PA where he produces one of a kind cityscape-inspired wood sculptures that explore the limitless possibilities of the urban landscape and our human relationship to it. Traditional woodworking techniques are combined with experimental mark making to create his own visions of the urban landscape.
Please join us as we take a walk through the endlessly imaginative mind of James McNabb.
