About Jamie McCormick Damon

Jamie McCormick Damon I am a self-taught artist. My origin in the arts was in writing, beginning in my early teens. During my twenties I was given a Russian camera and fell deeply in love with photography. I studied the art and science of the darkroom and printing, taking notes and highlighting in a book on darkroom techniques before taking my many rolls of film into a friend’s darkroom. I fell further in love with black and white photography and especially printing. This enchantment remains as my first true love in the arts. Over the years life expands, and so I involved myself with live theatre and singing. I love to sing and do it every day, one way or another. It wasn’t until I was well into my forties that I took the plunge and began to paint. Because I was timid and viewed myself as a “pretend artist”, not a “real artist”, I painted on objects that were useful and functional, thereby rendering my artwork as secondary to the object itself and also justifying its existence. I painted on chairs and tabletops, boxes and containers of all kinds. Eventually, and only after painting on enough of our furniture and other useful things, I began making assemblages, using a wide array of materials and found objects, often including my own black and white prints, organic materials and some painting. This art form of mixed media has held my attention for a long time now and it was from there I experimented a little with collage, again inserting my photo images and a bit of painting into the pieces. I recently finished a series I call my used coffee filter period. Lol. It seemed wasteful to throw out two used, unbleached paper filters every day, and envisioned how these papers could be beautiful surfaces for art and placed in groupings and arrangements. Making large, snaking, fan-like, and curving designs with these, I’ve sewn on them, used vintage ink stamps on them, and painted on them. When I do paint on paper, wood or flat surfaces, I tend to use a variety of mediums. I’m essentially fairly inexperienced and totally unschooled in painting this way, and have found that so far I feel a confidence, a sort of familiarity with oil sticks that could stem as far back as coloring with crayons. My paintings, and all the art forms I involve myself with, are intuitive and subliminal expressions for the most part. Once finished, they appear often to me as allegories, or stories, personal and subterranean and hopefully also thematically universal sometimes. For me it has always been about the process and the expression, the experience of unfolding and surfacing art. Once finished, it brings enough, another kind of satisfaction and fulfillment.
